a hung jury is one that is unable to reach a unanimous decision. Suppose that a pool of twenty-five potential jurors is assigned to a murder case where the evidence is so overwhelming against the defendant that twenty-three of the twenty-five would return a guilty. Verdict the other two potential jurors would vote to acquit regardless of the fac. What is the probability that the twelve-member panel chosen at random from the pool of twenty-five will be unable to reach a unanimous decision?

A couple plans to have four children. The father notes that the sample space for the number of girls the couple can have is 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. He goes on to say that since there are five outcomes in the sample space, and since each child is eaually iikely to be a boy or girl, all five outcomes must be equally ieiy. Therefore, the probability of all four children being girls is 1/5. Explain the flaw in his reasoning. The argument is only correct if each child is equally likely to be a boy or girl. O The outcomes are not equally likely. O The sample space has less than 5 possible outcomes. O The sample space has more than 5 possible outcomes.

Suppose that 35% of all voters prefer Candidate A.If 7 people are chosen at random for a poll, what is the probability that exactly 3 of them favor Candidate A?

a bag of hard candies has 6 cherry-flavored candies, 5 lime-flavored candies, 8 apple-flavored candies and 10 strawberry-flavored candies. the cherry and strawberry candies are both shades of red and the lime and apple candies are both shades of green. suppose four candies are randomly selected from the bag. Assume that the individual candies are what matter (not the type).(a) Find the probability of selecting four cherry-flavored candies.(b) Find the probability of selecting  two lime-flavored candies and two strawberry-flavored candies.(c) Find the probability of selecting four red candies.
