Question

Q.3 Q.3 In a cricket match a batsman hits a boundary 3 times out of 20 balls he plays. What is
the probability that the next ball the batsman plays: i) will be a boundary? Ii will not be a
boundary? Show that the sum of both the probabilities is 1.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

i)P=no. of outcomes/total no. of trials

=no. of boundaries/total no of balls

=3/20

ii)P=not a boundary/total no of balls

=17/20

3/20 + 17/20= 20/20=1
