Answer 2

Answer:

$Number \: of \: tickets \:\\ she \: bought =480$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Probability \: of \: winning \: prize = 0.08\\\implies P(E)=0.08$

$Total \: number \: of \: tickets \:\\ sold(T) = 6000$

$Let\\Number \: of \: tickets \:\\ she \: bought =S$

$P(E)= \frac{S}{T}$

$\implies 0.08 = \frac{S}{6000}$

$\implies 0.08 \times 6000 = S$

$\implies 480=S$

Therefore,

$Number \: of \: tickets \:\\ she \: bought =480$
