Question

In a football match, a goalkeeper of a team can stop a goal 32 times out of 40 shot by a team. Find the probability that a team can make a goal

Answer 1

Answer:

Probability that a team can make a goal = 8/40 = 1/5

Answer 2

Given:

In a football match, a goalkeeper of a team can stop a goal 32 times out of 40.

To Find:

The probability that a team can make a goal.

Solution:

The probability of an event lies between 0 and 1.

Total number of shots = 40

Number of times goalkeeper stop the shot = 32

So,

Number of goals = Total number of shots - number of shots stopped by the goalkeeper

⇒ 40 - 32

⇒ 8

So, the probability that the team can make a goal = 8/40

                                                                                   = 1/5

So, the probability is 1:5

Therefore, the probability of the goals stopped to a total number of shots   = 1:5.
