The probability of you being the leadoff hitter is <span>8.3%.</span>

Explanation:

The number of possible rosters can be calculated with permutations, knowing that the coach can choose the first hitter among all 12 players, then the second hitter among the 11 players remaining and so on until the 9th hitter among the remaining 4 players.

Therefore:
Possible rosters = 12 × 11 × 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 = 79833600

The leadoff hitter is the first player in the batting order, therefore the number of possible rosters in which you are chosen as the first one is:
You leadoff = 1 <span>× 11 × 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 = 6652800

The probability of you being leadoff is:
P</span> = You leadoff / <span>Possible rosters 
</span>   = 6652800 / 79833600
   = 1 / 12 
   = 0.08333
   = 8.3%

Note that this is exactly the probability of you being chosen out of the 12 players of the team in a one-pick choice because it does not matter how the rest of the batting order is composed.

Think of your favorite spot to get food from. You are going there to get your first meal after quarantine and the meal cost $35.
sveta [45]

Answer:

You will be paying $41.30 in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the meal is $35 and you want to leave 18% tip on the meal.

We want to find the total amount that will be paid.

First, we have to find 18% of $35 and then, add it to the original bill ($35).

18% of 35 is:

18/100 * 35 = $6.30

The tip is $6.30, therefore, the total amount paid will be:

$35 + $6.30 = $41.30

You will be paying $41.30 in total.

Explain the strategy you would use to solve the following equation without a model. You can write out the fraction names or use
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/4 - 1 3/4 Because the denominator are already the same, all you have to do is make it a mixed number and subtract. To do that you multiply the whole number to the denominator and add that new number to the numerator. So you would then have.

9/4 - 7/4

Keep the denumerator the same and subtract the numerators.

2/4

Then simplify

1/2
