Determine whether the probability experiment represents a hypergeometric probability experiment. If it does, determine the values of N, n, and k and list the possible values of the random variable X.
A jury is to be selected from a pool of 39 potential jurors. The defendant faces the death penalty if convicted. Of the potential jurors, 7 are opposed to the death penalty. The jury consists of 12 randomly selected jurors. The random variable X represents the number of jurors who oppose the death penalty.
◦ not hypergeometric
◦ hypergeometric; N = 39, n = 12, k = 7, x = 0, 1, 2, . . . ,12
◦ hypergeometric; N = 39, n = 12, k = 7, x = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 7
◦ hypergeometric; N = 39, n = 7, k = 12, x = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 7
