Answer 2

Probability of losing = 0.514

Probability of getting money back = 0.108

Probability of winning = 0.378

Explanation:

The number of tickets that lost = 57

The number of tickets where she got her money back = 12

The number of tickets that won = 42

The total number of tickets = 57 + 12 + 42 = 111

∴ The probability of her losing =
`(57)/(111)=0.514`

The probability of getting her money back =
`(12)/(111)= 0.108`

The probability of winning =
`(42)/(111)=0.378`
