The document analyzes IPL powerplay data, specifically focusing on the number of fours hit in the first 36 legal deliveries of an inning. It presents the observed frequencies of fours and calculates the probabilities for each outcome, concluding that the random variable follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 36 and p = 0.158. The probabilities for each possible number of fours are provided, demonstrating the distribution's characteristics.

Sample:
IPL powerplay [Link] powerplay
Model : Number of 4’s in an inning of a powerplay..
Total number of innings = 1598

Number of 4’s : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
13
Number of innings: 8 30 91 157 212 274 265 214 168 94 43 25 14
3

Define X: Number of times 4 occurs in the first 36 legal deliveries (powerplay) of an inning.

P(X=0) = 8/1598 = 0.0050


P(X=1) = 30/1598 = 0.0187
P(X=2) = 91/1598 = 0.0569
P(X=3) = 157/1598 = 0.0982
P(X=4) = 212/1598 = 0.1326
P(X=5) = 274/1598 = 0.1714
P(X=6) = 265/1598 = 0.1658
P(X=7) = 214/1598 = 0.1339
P(X=8) = 168 /1598 = 0.1051
P(X=9) = 94 /1598 = 0.0588
P(X=10) = 43/1598 = 0.0269
P(X=11) = 25/1598 = 0.0156
P(X= 12) = 14/1598 = 0.0087
P(X=13) = 3/1598 = 0.0018

Now, check whether this follows the Binomial distribution.

Let p be the probability of success.


p = P(occurrence of 4 in a ball)
= number of times 4 occurred in all the legal deliveries during powerplay of an inning / total
number of balls
= 9091 / (1598*36) = 9091 / 57528 = 0.158

Using the Binomial distribution: n = 36, x : {0, 1, …., 36}, p = 0.158

P(X=0) = 0.0020
P(X=1) = 0.0138
P(X=2) = 0.0453
P(X=3) = 0.0965
P(X=4) = 0.1494
P(X=5) = 0.1795
P(X=6) = 0.1741
P(X=7) = 0.1400
P(X=8) = 0.0952
P(X=9) = 0.0556
P(X=10) = 0.0281
P(X=11) = 0.0125
P(X=12) = 0.0048
P(X=13) = 0.0016

For x>13, P(X=x) is approximately 0.

Hence, the random variable X (number of fours in first 36 legal deliveries) follows the
Binomial distribution.
