In a raffle, the chance of winning a prize is one out of ten. If I purchase twelve tickets, what is the probability of winning exactly two prizes? Stuck on this question please send help!!!

Does it want us to assume that there are 120 people in running to buy it?

The question is poorly worded, but if each ticket is for a separate raffle drawing then binomial probability gives

$\bg_white \binom{12}{2} \left(\frac 1{10}\right)^2 \left(\frac 9{10}\right)^{10} \approx 23\%.$
