Question

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 TICKET HAS SHE BOUGHT? PLZZZZZ ANSWER SOON ITS IMPORTANT FOR ME.

Answer 1

P(E)= No. of favourable outcomes / Total no. of possible outcomes
0.08=No. of favourable outcomes/ 6000
No. of favourable outcomes=480
Therefore, the girl bought 480 tickets.

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of tickets that the girl bought will be 480 tickets.

To find:

The number of tickets she bought to get the probability of winning as 0.08.

Solution:

Probability of winning = 0.08 = 8/100

Total no. of tickets = 6000

Thus, No. of tickets she has bought = No. of favorable outcomes

$=\frac{8}{100} \times 6000 =480 tickets$

Hence, the total number of tickets that she bought is 480.
