Question

in a cricket match, a batsman hits the boundary 8 times out of the balls he plays. find the balls played, if the probability of not hitting the boundary is 80% .
with explanation please​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Probability of not hitting the boundaries is,

= 80 %

= 0.80

So the number of balls played by the batsman,

= 0.8 = (x-8)/x

0.8x = x-8

0.2x = 8

So,

x = 40
