There are 7 women and 3 men. How can a jury be made up if 5 women must be choosen and 2 men must be choosen? Next, consider the case if 2 men are arguing and cannot be on the same jury, now how many jurys can be made up?
I know i have to use combinations, but how?
What grade is this my dear boy?
5th grade
I should be able to help. I'm in Honors 9th. God Forbid I don't.
I honestlt don't know. I'm soo sorry.
In the first section the number of ways is: 7C5 * 3C2
I need help with the second part
For the second part, the number of combinations of women is the same as the first part: 7C5. Let the 3 men be identified as A, B and C. Assuming that A and C cannot be on the jury together, how many combinations of men are possible?
2C2*5C1
