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 digits 2 comma 3 comma 4 comma 5 comma and 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are randomly arranged to form a​ three-digit number. ​ (Digits
iren2701 [21]
There are total of 5 digits, of which we arrange 3 of them.
Therefore using permutations we can find total possible 3-number combinations.
5P3 = 5*4*3 = 60

To be greater than 600 means first digit must be 6. (1 possibility)
A number is even only if last digit is even, 2 or 4.  (2 possibilities)
The 2nd digit then can only be 3,5, (2 or 4).    (3 possibilities)
The total possible even 3-digit numbers greater than 600 is product of each digit's possibilities.
---> 1*3*2 = 6

Therefore probability is 6/60 = 1/10.
