Question

In a cricket match, a batsman hits boundary 20 times out of 50 balls. what is the probability that he hits a boundary?

• A. 1
• B. 0.5
• C. 0.2
• D. 0.4

Answer 1

The correct option is D

0.4

The number of balls the batsman played = 50

So total number of trails = 50

Number of balls he hit boundary = 20

$\because$ Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcome}}{\text{total number of trails}}$

$\therefore$ Probability to hit a boundary = $\frac{20}{50}$

= $\frac{2}{5}$

= 0.4
