Answer 1

Answer:

Given, total number of tickets = 6000

Probability of his winning

=

0.08

Total number of tickets he bought

=

6000 × 0.08 = 480

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (c) 480 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, total number of tickets sold = 6000

Let he bought x tickets

Then, probability of his winning the first prize = x / 6000

• 0.08 = x / 6000
• x = 0.08 × 6000 = 480

Hence, he bought 480 tickets.
