Izzy manages the school baseball and softball teams. Part of his job is taking care of equipment and recording statistics about the players.

1. Izzy orders gloves for the 36 players on the teams combined.


Izzy estimates that 10% of the players are left-handed, so he orders 3 left- handed gloves. Is that enough? Explain.

Answer 1

Hence the order of gloves(3) is less that actual number of left handed player(4) in team.

Explanation:

Given:

Total players =36 i.e they need total of 36 gloves with as per dominant hand

(Left or Right)

She ordered 3 gloves for left handed players.

And there are 10 % player which are left handed.

To Find:

Is ordered gloves are enough ?

Solution:

Given, that only 10 % of 36 are left handed.

Left handed player in team=10% of 36

`=(10/100)*36`

=0.1*36

=3.6

For Rounding off figure ,nth place after decimal is greater that half i.e 5(here it is 6) so add one in next place

i.e Using significant figures 3.6 is approximately equals to 4

And the Total ordered gloves are , less than the actual number of left handed players.
