Question

In a one day cricket match,Sachin played 40 balls and hit 12
sixes and saurav played 30 balls and hit 9 fours Find the
probability that Sachin will hit a six in the next ball and also
find the probability that saurav will not hit a four in the next
ball

Utsav · Accepted Answer

Given Sachin hit 12 sixes in 40 ballsHence probability of hitting
six in next ball =favourable number of outcomestotal number of
outcomesNow favourable number of outcomes =12 Total number of
outcomes = total number of balls∴Probability that next ball
goes for a six = 1240=310Saurav hit 9 fours in 30 balls Probability
of hitting a four in next ball = favourable number of outcomestotal
number of outcomesNow favourable number of outcomes =9 Total number
of outcomes = total number of balls=30∴Probability that next
ball goes for a four = 930=310Hence Probability that next ball not
going for a four =1-Probability that next ball goes for a
four=1-310=710
