Question 23

Step 1: Recall the formula for probability:

\( \text{Probability} = \dfrac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} \)

Step 2: Here,

• Probability = \(0.08\)
• Total tickets = \(6000\)
• Favourable outcomes = Number of tickets she bought (this is what we need to find).

Step 3: Put the values into the formula:

\( 0.08 = \dfrac{\text{Number of tickets bought}}{6000} \)

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 6000 to get the number of tickets:

\( \text{Number of tickets bought} = 0.08 \times 6000 \)

Step 5: Do the multiplication:

\( 0.08 \times 6000 = 480 \)

Final Answer: She has bought 480 tickets. Hence, the correct option is (C).
