Question

In an innings of $30$ deliveries, a batsman scored $4$ boundaries, $3$ sixes, $13$ singles, $4$ twos and the remaining were dot balls. Find the probability that batsman would score on the next delivery: A 'two'

• A. $\frac{1}{30}$
• B. $\frac{1}{15}$
• C. $\frac{2}{15}$
• D. $\frac{1}{10}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{2}{15}$

Total number of deliveries$=30$

Number of two's$=4$

$P\left(A\right)=\frac{Numberoffavorableoutcomes}{TotalNumberofpossibleoutcomes}$

$\therefore P\left(A\right)=\frac{4}{30}=\frac{2}{15}$
