Detailed Solution

Given, a girl calculates that the probability of her winning the first prize in a lottery is 0.08. 6000 tickets are sold.
P(E)= n(E) n(S)  
Probability of winning p (E)=0.08   Number of tickets sold =6000  
Find the number of tickets bought.
We know that,
  P(E)= n(E) n(S)   Substituting the given values in the above formula,
0.08= n(E) 6000  
n(E)=0.08×6000   n(E)=480  
The girl bought a total of 480 tickets.
Hence, the correct option 3.
