Question

Two additional jurors are needed to complete a jury for a criminal trial. There are six prospective jurors, two women and four men. Two jurors are randomly selected from the six available.a Define the experiment and describe one sample point. Assume that you need describe only the two jurors chosen and not the order in which they were selected.b List the sample space associated with this experiment.c What is the probability that both of the jurors selected are women?

Answer 1

Answer:

We need to select two people from the 6 choices available. Let us denote the women by W1, W2 and denote men by M1, M2, M3 and M4.  

The experiment is to choose two people among the 6. It is given that the order of selection does not matter. Therefore, M1 M2 is the same as M2 M1.

One sample point is M1, M2. Its description is that when choosing two people from 6 available, we choose Man 1 and Man 2 to be the part of the jury.
