Whats the chance of hitting a red light at least once during the days)? (assuming P(R) = 0.5! P(") = 0.0#! P($) = 0.%&)
'irst roach
We could start by calculating the probability of hitting exactly 1 red lighweek, then exactly 2, then 3, 4, and 5
Then wed !ust need to add the" up#
$%1 &ed' ( 5 x %&1x )&4' ( 5 x %*+351x *+54' ( 0.&*#
$%2 &ed' ( 1* x %&2x )&3' ( 1* x %*+352x *+53' ( 0.%#
$%3 &ed' ( 1* x %&3x )&2' ( 1* x %*+353x *+52' ( 0.&+&&
$%4 &ed' ( 5 x %&4x )&1' ( 5 x %*+354x *+51' ( 0.0#++
$%5 &ed' ( *+35 x *+35 x *+35 x *+35 x *+35 ( 0.005*
P(t least & Red) = 0.&*# , 0.%# , 0.&+&& , 0.0#++ , 0.005* = 0.
