Answer:

Prejudices are only a concern if they conflict with the case before the court. As an example a prejudice against French people would not affect a case involving a Korean and Japanese businessmen in a dispute over shares in an American company.

Most people do have prejudices against something. The jury pool would be small if only people totally without prejudice could be eligible to serve.

What is atticus answer when jem asks why don't people like us and miss Maudie ever sit on juries?

Yes, Jem is observing that the people he sees on juries don't live in the town - they live in the country. Because they live in the country, the people from town don't really know the people sitting on the jury. At this time (similar to how it works today), there was a box or a list of names of the people living in Maycomb County, and juries are selected randomly. However, at this time, the names of women and African-Americans were not included on this list that jury members were selected from. If people had a legitimate reason to not serve on the jury, they could sometimes be excused

How many different 12 member juries can be chosen from a pool of 45 people?

The number of different 12-member juries that can be chosen from a pool of 45 people can be calculated using the combination formula ( C(n, k) = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} ), where ( n ) is the total number of people and ( k ) is the number of members to choose. For this scenario, it is ( C(45, 12) = \frac{45!}{12!(45-12)!} ). This value can be computed to find the total number of unique juries. The result is 1,264,192,000 different 12-member juries.
