Can anyone help me with this probability question?
Jury selection is a highly important process. The prosecution and defense are looking for the best possible jurors to consider their arguments. For example, in a domestic violence or sexual assault case, the prosecution would likely prefer a jury sympathetic to the victim. The defense, on the other hand may not. The challenge becomes not only agreeing on a jury panel but finding jurors that fit their criteria.
Considering a hypothetical abuse case in a city of size 400,000 with approximately equal numbers of men and women. Furthermore, assume that 60% of its residents know a victim of abuse. About 14% of men have been victims and 30% of women. (The group “No More” recently released these results.)
1.In a jury pool of 300 people, how many different groups of 40 potential jurors are possible?
2.How many 12-person juries are possible among a given group of 40?
3.What is the probability that a person chosen knows a victim of domestic or sexual abuse?
4.What is the probability that a person chosen is female or a victim of abuse?
