A signal light is green for 4 minutes, yellow for 10 seconds, and red for 3 minutes. If you drive up to this light, what is the probability that it will be green when you reach the intersection? Round your answer to two decimal places.

0.56 is the required probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time for which signal shows green light = 4 minutes

Time for which signal shows yellow light = 10 seconds

Time for which signal shows red light = 3 minutes

To find:

Probability that the signal will show green light when you reach the destination = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us convert each time to same unit before doing any calculations.

Time for which signal shows green light = 4 minutes = 4 60 seconds = 240 seconds

Time for which signal shows yellow light = 10 seconds

Time for which signal shows red light = 3 minutes = 3 60 seconds = 180 seconds

Now, let us have a look at the formula for probability of an event E:

Here, E is the event that green light is shown by the signal.

Number of favorable cases mean the time for which green light is shown and Total number of cases is the total time (Time for which green light is shown + Time for which Yellow light is shown + Time for which red light is shown)

So, the required probability is:

1/4 and 8/3 because:

the reciprocal if 4 is 1/4 because 4 is used as 4/1 and the opposite of that is 1/4. the opposite of 3/8 is 8/3 so that is the answer.

15%

step-by-step explanation:

use the table and count the number of guesses that has two correct answers.

the following are two correct answers

10010, 01100, 11000

a total of 3 numbers having 2 correct guesses out of 20 questions.

probability of getting 2 correct guesses = the number of questions getting 2 correct answers / total number of questions.

= 3/20

to convert it into percent multiply by 100, we get

= 3/20 * 100

= 15%

the answer is 15%
