Solution

Number of times the batswoman hits a boundary =6
Total number of balls played =30
$∴$ Number of times that the batswoman does not hit a boundary = 30-6 = 24

$P (s h e d i d n o t h i t a b o u n d a r y) = \frac{N u m b e r o f t i m e s w h e n s h e d i d n o t h i t b o u n d a r y}{T o t a l n u m b e r o f b a l l s p l a y e d} = \frac{24}{30}$

$P (s h e d i d n o t h i t a b o u n d a r y) = \frac{4}{5}$
