On her way to work, Mrs. Larsen gets a green light at a certain traffic light only 30% of the time. She wants to find the probability that she will get a green light at this traffic light all five mornings that she travels to work next week. Use the following randomly generated list of 200 five-digit numbers to answer the questions and find the probability.

Select the digits you will use to represent a favorable outcome.
How many favorable outcomes are on this list? What are they?
Given this simulation, what is the probability that Mrs. Larsen will get a green light at this traffic light all five mornings next week?

Answer 1

First, use the random number table to generate the possible probabilities but only account the first four digits in order to get a value that is a percentage
35.85%
28.97%
90.12%
5.07%
20.43%
The average is
