11/12 and 1/8
we only need to look at the denominators which is
12 and 8
12 24 36
8 16 <span> 24
</span>so the LCD is 24
2015:
250 members
$95 annual subscription
2016
250 members + 4%
$95 annual subscription + 6%
Work:
250 x 1.04 = 260
95 x 1.06 = 100.7
260 x 100.7 = 26,182
Thus, the club makes $26,182 from 260 members who pay a subscription of $100.7
Solve the equation to get values for x and y.
For example,
When x is 0,
y = 1
You have one point on the line (0,1)
Now, when y = 0,
x = 36/5 = 7.2
You have one more point on the line (7.2,0)
Plot these points on the x and y axes.
Draw a straight line joining these two points. ( I hope you can plot the points)
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.
