Answers
Answer:
24 century
Step-by-step explanation:
because he hit 1 random century
Given:
Rohit scored 23 centuries in a span of 100 games in cricket.
To Find:
Probability of scoring a century in one of the selected innings at random.
Solution:
The given problem can be solved by using probability concepts
1) Probability is defined as the chance of happening of a given event.
let there are n total number of outcomes out of which m are favorable then : probability of favorable outcomes is given by
P(Event) = (Favorable events / Total number of events)
2) It is given that Rohit has scored 23 centuries in 100 innings i.e, The total number of outcomes are 100 , whereas the favorable outcomes are 23 respectively.
3)Probability of Rohit scoring a century is given by,
P(Getting a century) = (Total number of centuries/ Total number of innings).
4) On substituting the given values we get,
- P(Getting a century ) = (23/100).
- P(Getting a century) = 0.23 .
Therefore, the probability for Rohit to have a century in one of the selected 100 innings is 0.23.
