A baseball coach needs to choose 99 players to be in the batting lineup for the next game. There are 44 freshmen, 44 sophomores,
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The number of ways the batting line up can be made is 3,851,971,200 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coach of the baseball team needs to choose 9 players for the batting lineup.

He can choose from a total of 4 freshmen, 4 sophomores, 5 juniors and 4 seniors for the team.

He has to choose the team so that there at most 2 juniors on the lineup.

The total number of available player who are not juniors is 4 + 4 + 4 = 12

i) If the coach selects no juniors then there are 9 positions to fill up and  

 since the batting order is not specific  so these 9 players can be selected

  from 12 players = \binom{12}{9} = 220 ways

ii) If the coach selects one junior then there are other 8 other positions to

   fill up from 12 players and one junior is to be selected from 5 juniors

  = \binom{12}{8}  \times \binom{5}{1} = 2475

iii) If the coach selects two juniors then there are other 7 other positions to

   fill up from 12 players and two juniors are to be selected from 5 juniors

   = \binom{12}{7}  \times \binom{5}{2} = 7920

So the ways of selecting the players is  = 220 + 2475 + 7920 = 10615 ways

Since there is no specific order to the batting line up  the number of ways the batting line up can be made = 9! × 10615 = 3,851,971,200 ways.
