Question

in a cricket match a batsman hits a boundary 5 times out of 40 balls played by him. Find the probability that the boundary is not hit by the ball.

Answer 1

Given:

Number of times a batsman hits a boundary = 5

Total number of balls played = 40

To find:

The probability that the boundary is not hit by the ball.

Solution:

Probability that the boundary is hit by the ball (P)

P = Favorable number of outcomes

         Total number of outcomes

P = 5/40

P = 1/8

So, the probability that the boundary is hit by the ball 1/8

P' = 1 - P

P' = 1 - 1/8

P' = 7/8

Therefore, the probability that the boundary is not hit by the ball is 7/8.

Answer 2

Answer:

the probability that the boundary is not hit by the ball is 7/8.
