 A traffic light for northbound traffic at a particular intersection stays
green for 30 seconds, amber for five seconds and red for 40

A traffic light for northbound traffic at a particular intersection stays green for 30 seconds, amber for five seconds and red for 40 seconds. A northbound car comes around the corner and its driver sees the traffic light. a Determine the theoretical probability of the driver seeing a green light when he/she first comes around the corner. Express answer as a percent. b) Determine the theoretical probability of the driver seeing a red light as he/she come around the corner. Express answer as a percent to one decimal place. c) Briefly describe an experiment you could conduct using coloured blocks in order to calculate the experimental probability of the driver seeing a green light. d) Conduct the experiment you described in part c and include your calculation of experimental probability. e) Compare the experimental probability you calculated in part d with the theoretical probability you calculated in part a. Are the results surprising? Explain. aper.pdf In geometry termin...rtf geometry termin....if IMG_0120 (1).jpg pg2852-image..epub
