A jury pool consists of 33 people, 15 men and 18 women. Compute the probability
that a randomly selected jury of 12 people is all male.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are  C%5B33%5D%5E12 = 354817320  different ways to select 12 people jury of/from 33 people.

There are  C%5B15%5D%5E12 = 455  different ways to select 12 people jury of/from 33 people.

Therefore, the probability randomly select 12 men is  455%2F354817320 = 7%2F5458728 = 1.28235E-06.    ANSWER

Solved.
