Solution

The correct option is
D

0.8

Total number of balls played = 30

Number of balls in which the batsman hit a boundary = 6

Number of balls in which he did not hit a boundary
= 30 – 6
= 24

So, probability that next ball he play s is not a boundary is $\frac{24}{30} = 0.8$
Hence, option D is correct.
