Question

A jury pool consists of 50 potential jurors and how many ways can a jury of 12 be selected

Answer 1

we are given that

A jury pool consists of 50 potential jurors.

Wee have been asked to find the number of ways can a jury of 12 be selected.

As we know from the concept of combination that r person can be selected out of n in ncr ways. where

`n_C_r=(n!)/(r!(n-r)!)`

Now substitute the values we get

`{50}_C_(12)=(50!)/(12!(50-12)!)\\ \\ {50}_C_(12)=(50!)/(12!38!)\\ \\ {50}_C_(12)=121399651100\\`

Hence the required number of ways is 121399651100
