In a cricket match a batsman hits a boundary 10 times out of 36 balls he
plays. Find the probability that he does not hit the boundary. explain
Answers
Answer:
i'll say 5/18
i think
GIVEN; NO. OF TIMES BOUNDARIES HIT BY BATSMAN = 10
TOTAL NO. OF BALLS PLAYED BY BATSMAN = 36
TO FIND; PROBABILITY OF BATSMAN NOT HITTING BOUNDARY
SOLUTION;
THEN, NO. OF BALLS BATSMAN DON'T HIT BOUNDARY => TOTAL NO. OF BALLS PLAYED - NO. OF BALLS BATSMAN HITTED BOUNDARY
=> 36 - 10
=> 36 - 10 => 26
NOW ,LET THE PROBABILITY OF BATSMAN NOT HITTING BOUNDARY BE P(E)
AS WE KNOW,
PROBABILITY OF OCCURING OF AN EVENT = NO. OF TIMES EVENT OCCURRED / TOTAL NO. OF TRIALS
PROBABILITY OF BATSMAN NOT HITTING BOUNDARY ;=> NO. OF BALLS BATSMAN HITTED BOUNDARY / TOTAL NO. OF BALLS PLAYED
=> P(E) = 26 / 36
=> P(E) = 0.723
THIS MEANS THAT OUT OF 100 THERE ARE APPROX 72 % CHANCES THAT THE BATS MAN WILL NOT HIT BOUNDARY.
