Question

Q.5. In a cricket match, a batsman hit a boundary 8 times out of 32 balls he plays. Find the probability that he does not hit a boundary.

Answer 1

The probability of not hitting the boundaries can also be obtained by the following formula/expression:

P(not hitting boundaries) = 1 - P(hitting boundaries)

P(hitting boundaries) = $\frac{6}{32}$840
P(not hitting boundaries) = $1-\frac{6}{32}=\frac{32-6}{32}=\frac{26}{32}=\frac{13}{16}$
