Download Solution PDFGiven:
Total balls played by the batsman = 60
Balls where he hits a boundary = 15
Balls where he doesn't hit a boundary = 60 - 15 = 45
Formula Used:
Probability of not hitting a boundary = (Number of balls where boundary is not hit) / (Total balls played)
Calculation:
Probability of not hitting a boundary:
⇒ Probability = 45 / 60
⇒ Probability = 3 / 4
⇒ Probability = 0.75
The probability that the batsman doesn't hit a boundary in the next ball is 0.75.
