Question

There are 15 men on the roster of the baseball team. 2 are catchers,6 are infielders,4 are outfielders and the remainder are pitchers. What is the probability that out of two players chosen at random they would be a pitcher and a infielder

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability is 6/15 because there is 6 in fielders out of all of the people

Answer 2

Answer: 0.086

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of pitcher = 15 - ( 2 + 6 + 4 )

Total number of pitcher = 3

Now,

probability that out of two players chosen at random they would be a pitcher and an infielder

= ( 3/ 15 ) × ( 6/ 14 )

= 0.086

First of all, probability of getting pitcher will be (3/ 15). Since, you have already chosen one pitcher, the remaining total men will be 14. So, probability of getting infielder will be (6/ 14).
