a) 11/24
b) 13/24
c) 1/2
d) 5/12

Answer 1

The probability of selecting a man from a pool of 11 men and 13 women is 11/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the probability of selecting a man from a pool of jurors consisting of 11 men and 13 women. To find this probability, we divide the number of men by the total number of people in the pool. There are 11 men and 13 women, which adds up to a total of 24 people. The probability of selecting a man is therefore 11 out of 24, or 11/24.
