Problem
A batsman has hit boundaries in 35 of the first 50 balls he has faced in a practice session.
(i) Calculate the present empirical probability that he hits a boundary on any one ball.
(ii) The coach wants this probability to fall to 0.60 or below. If the batsman continues the session without hitting any more boundaries, determine the minimum additional balls he must face to reach the required probability level.
