Suppose the city posted workers at the intersection and over five week period it counted 23,456 vehicles passing through the intersection, of which 1,876 ran a red light. a) use these numbers to calculate the probability that cars passing through the intersection will not run the red light. Write as a percent to the nearest hundredth of a percent. b) Id this probability experimental or theoretical?
