If a jury of 12 people is to be selected randomly from a pool of 15 potential jurors, and the jury pool consists of 2/3 men and 1/3 women, what is the probability that the jury will comprise at least 2/3 men?
A. 24/91
B. 45/91
C. 2/3
D. 67/91
E. 84/91
Total jurors =
15Men =
23(15)=10Women =
15−10=5Jury =
12Men (at-least) =
23(12)=8Case I: 8M4Wpossible selections =
(10C8)(5C4)=225Case II: 9M3Wpossible selections =
(10C9)(5C3)=100Case III: 10M2Wpossible selections =
(10C10)(5C2)=10Total possibilities of selecting
12 members from
15 =
15C12=455Required probability =
(225+100+10)455=335455=6791Hence, option D
