Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are a total of 33 cases and 11 of them are property crimes. So the probability of a juror getting a property crime case is 11/33. Therefore, the probability of not getting a property crime case is 1 - 11/33 = 22/33 or approximately 0.67. The only option that matches this probability is C. There are 11 property crimes out of 33 total cases. Therefore, the probability of a juror getting a property crime case is 11/33. The probability of a juror not getting a property crime case is 1 minus that probability, or 1 - 11/33 which simplifies to 22/33. Choice C is the only option that matches this probability.
