The Bears baseball team has 13 players on it's roster how many possible 9 player batting orders can be manager make

1 answer

The number of possible 9 player batting orders that a manager can make with a 13 player roster can be calculated using the formula for permutations.

The formula for permutations is n! / (n-r)!, where n is the total number of items and r is the number of items being chosen.

In this case, n = 13 (total number of players on the roster) and r = 9 (number of players in the batting order).

So, the number of possible 9 player batting orders can be calculated as:

13! / (13-9)! = 13! / 4! = 13 * 12 * 11 * 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 = 135,135

Therefore, there are 135,135 possible 9 player batting orders that a manager can make with a 13 player roster.
