Question

Assume that a particular professional baseball team has 12 pitchers, 5 infielders, and 8 other players. If 3 players' names are selected at random, determine the probability that 2 are pitchers and 1

is an infielder.
What is the probability of selecting 2 pitchers and 1 infielder?
(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Pitchers(p) = 12

Infielders(i) = 5

Others(o) = 8

Total players = 25

Probability(2p and 1i) =

`( (2)/(25) ) * ( (1)/(25) ) = ( (2)/(625) )`
