The example is wrong, but the problem description is correct. We must not count the caught-and-bowled events, and probability can also be equal to the threshold despite the example.
Overall these problems are not hard, but they require close attention. And I recommend using tables; these problems are perfect for a DBMS lecture.
@Raphael: Thank you for catching that - I was tweaking the example and didn't update the image correctly. I have now.
To clarify: Raphael is correct that "caught and bowled" does *not* count to the "bowled" category. And yes, in the example, if Ned's second wicket was "bowled" or "lbw" instead of "caught and bowled", then he would have WWProp = 0.5 and should be included as the last row of the output table, having at least 2 wickets and a proportion of at least 0.5.
