Question 432992: A baseball manager is determining the batting order for the team. The team has 9 players, but the manager definitely wants the pitcher to bat last. how many batting orders are possible?? Answer by htmentor(1343) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since the pitcher bats last, there is only one choice for the 9th slot. For the 1st slot, there are 8 choices remaining. For the 2nd slot, there are 7 choices remaining, etc.
So the number of possible batting orders is:
8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1*1 = 8! = 40,320
