Solution

The correct option is A 67

Jason hits a boundary 6 out of 42 balls.
Number of times Jason did not hit the boundary =426=36

36 out of 42 times Jason did not hit a boundary.

Number of favorable outcomes =36
Total number of outcomes =42

The probability P(E) that Jason did not hit the boundary is:

P(E)=3642=6×66×7

P(E)=67


The probability that Jason did not hit the boundary is 67.

Therefore, option (a.) is the correct answer.
