Detailed Solution

Given that a batsman strikes a boundary six times for every 30 balls played in a cricket match.
Number of time when batsman don’t hit a boundary is,
= 30 – 6
= 24
Number of time when batsman don’t hit a boundary = 24
And, total number of outcome = 30
The probability of an event = Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of outcomes
Now, the probability that the ball does not hit the boundary is,
= Number of time when batsman don’t hit a boundary Total number of outcomes = 24 30
= 4 5
The probability is 4 5 .
Hence, option 3 is correct.
