Complete question :

Six jurors are to be selected from a pool of 20 potential candidates to hear a civil case involving a lawsuit between two families. Unknown to the judge or any of the attorneys, 2 of the 20 prospective jurors are potentially prejudiced by being acquainted with one or more of the litigants. They will not disclose this during the jury selection process. If 6 jurors are selected at random from this group of 20, find the probability that the number of potentially prejudiced jurors among the 6 selected jurors is ;

a. exactly 1

b. none

c. at most 2

0.442 ; 0.479 ; 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:.

Total number of candidates = 20

Number of jurors to be selected = 6

Number of prejudiced jurors = 2

Required outcome / Total possible outcomes :

Using the combination formula :

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)!r!

1.)

P(number of prejudiced jurors is exactly 1) :

[2C1 * 18C5] ÷ 20C6

(2*8568)÷ 38760

= 0.442

B.)

P(None of the jurors is prejudiced) :

[2C0 * 18C6] ÷ 20C6

(1 * 18564) ÷ 38760

= 0.479

C.)

P(at most 2 of the jurors are prejudiced)

P(x =0) + p(x = 1) + p(x = 2)

P(x = 2) :

[2C2 * 18C4] ÷ 20C6

(1 * 3060) ÷ 38760

= 0.079

P(x =0) + p(x = 1) + p(x = 2)

(0.479 + 0.442 + 0.079)

= 1

ad = ae + ed = y + 7

similar triangles therefor

ac/ab = ad/ae

6/4 = (y + 7) / y

cross multiply

6y = 4(y + 7)

6y = 4y + 28

2y = 28

y = 14
