A jury pool consists of 28 people, 16 men, and 12 women. Compute the probability that a randomly selected jury of 12 people is all male.

=5.2×10

−6

Step-by-step explanation:

Order does not matter so it is a Combination.

There are 14 men and we are going to choose 12 --> ₁₄C₁₂

There are 27 people and we are going to choose 12 --> ₂₇C₁₂

\dfrac{_{14}C_{12}}{_{27}C_{12}}\rightarrow\dfrac{14!}{(14-12)!}\div \dfrac{27!}{(27-12)!}=\large\boxed{\dfrac{7}{1,337,220}}

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
