Question

In a cricket match, a batswoman hits a boundary 6times out of 30 balls she plays.
Find the probability that she did not hit a boundary.

Answer 1

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

$\text{P (she did not hit a boundary ) =}\frac{\text{Number of times when she did not hit boundary}}{\text{Total number of balls played}}=\frac{24}{30}$

$\text{P (she did not hit a boundary ) =}\frac{4}{5}$
