Answer:
The probability mass function is:
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,47,12,22) = \frac{C_{22,x}*C_{25,12-x}}{C_{47,12}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The people are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The probability mass of the hypergeometric probability distribution is given by:
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
In which:
x is the number of successes.
N is the size of the population.
n is the size of the sample.
k is the total number of desired outcomes.
In this question:
22 + 25 = 47 jurors, so [tex]N = 47[/tex]
22 are women, which means that [tex]k = 22[/tex]
Jury of 12, which means that [tex]n = 12[/tex].
Thus
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,47,12,22) = \frac{C_{22,x}*C_{25,12-x}}{C_{47,12}}[/tex]
Which is the probability mass function.
