3. there are 8 right-handed pitchers and 2 left-handed pitchers on the tigeris baseball team. how likely is it that their opponents will face a right-handed pitcher
8/10 = .8 = likely
To determine the likelihood of the opponents facing a right-handed pitcher, we need to analyze the ratio of right-handed pitchers to left-handed pitchers.
In the given scenario, there are 8 right-handed pitchers and 2 left-handed pitchers on the Tigeris baseball team.
To calculate the probability, we divide the number of right-handed pitchers by the total number of pitchers:
Probability = Number of Right-handed Pitchers / (Number of Right-handed Pitchers + Number of Left-handed Pitchers)
Probability = 8 / (8 + 2)
Probability = 8 / 10
Probability = 0.8
Therefore, the probability of the opponents facing a right-handed pitcher is 0.8 or 80%.
Thus, it is likely that the opponents will face a right-handed pitcher.
