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.

The cylinder’s diameter and height are both 39.2 millimeters. What is the surface area of this cylinder?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

A = 7,241.2454026112  square mm.

or exact : A = 2,304.96‬*π  sq mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Cylinder formula:   A = π* r^2 +  2 *π * r* h  +  π*r^2

is the surface area.

d = 2r = 39.2 mm

h = 39.2 mm

r = 19.6 mm

A = π* r^2 +  2 *π * r* h  +  π*r^2

A = 2* π* (19.6)^2  + 2π (19.6)*(39.2)  

A = 2,413.748467537 +  4,827.496935

A = 7,241.2454026112  square mm.

or

A =  2*pi* (768.32‬ + 384.16)

A = 2*1,152.48‬* pi

A = 2,304.96‬*π  sq mm

Rhombus ABCD with vertices A(2, 6), B(6, 7),<br> C(5, 3), and D(1, 2): 180°
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rule for the rotation of a point 180° about the origin is,

(x, y) → (-x, -y)

Therefore, images of the points after the rotation of 180° will be,

A(2, 6) → A'(-2, -6)

B(6, 7) → B'(-6, -7)

C(5, 3) → C'(-5, -3)

D(1, 2) → D'(-1, -2)

Now we can plot these points on the graph as attached.
