A jury pool has 21 people that are married and 20 people that are not married,
from which 12 jurors will be selected. Assuming that each person is equally likely
to be chosen and that the jury is selected at random, find the probability
that the jury consists of the following:
(a) 8 married and 4 that are not married.
(b) 6 married and 6 that are not married.

(a)  C%5B21%5D%5E8%2AC%5B20%5D%5E4 = 203490*4845 = use your calculator.


(b)  Solve (b) in the same way as I solved (a) above.
