Q1 of 1 Page 283

A girl calculate that her probability of winning the first prize in a lottery is 0.08. If 6000 tickets are sold then how many tickets has she bought?

Here in this case,


P(E) = 0.08


No. of favorable outcomes =?


Total no. of possible outcomes = 6000

No. of favorable outcomes = 0.08 × 6000


No. of favorable outcomes = 480.


Therefore, the girl bought 480 tickets.
