Question

A 12-member jury is to be selected from 15 men and 13 women. Find the probability that this jury has 6 or 7 males.

Answer 1

The right solution is "0.5545".

Explanation:

According to the question,

The probability of having 6 or 7 males will be:

=
`P(6 \ males)+ P(7 \ males)`

=
`(15_C_6* 13_C_6)/(28_C_(12)) + (15_C_7* 13_C_5)/(28_C_(12))`

=
`(5005* 1716+6435* 1287)/(30421755)`

=
`(16870425)/(30421755)`

=
`0.5545`
