Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

To determine

To find : the probability that the light being green when you first see it.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 32E

The experimental probability that the light will be green is is 1740 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

Consider, the information provided in the question,

A traffic light is green for 17 seconds, yellow for 3 seconds, and red for 20 seconds.

Calculation :

Total number of trials is the sum of the numbers of seconds green signal, yellow signal and red signal. Therefore, total number of free trials is

  17+3+20=40 seconds

Among these 40 seconds for 17 seconds the signal is green. Therefore, the experimental probability that the light will be green is

  P(Light is green)=Number of successNumber of trialsP(Light is green)=1740

Hence, the experimental probability that the light will be green is 1740 .
