Question

On his way to work a man notices that 9 of the 16 traffic lights are green. Is there a significance to say that these traffic lights are programmed to allow ease to traffic

Answer 1

I suppose they could be if there was a lot of traffic going in a certain direction to allow it to clear

Answer 2

No, the results are likely to occur by chance.

Explanation:

Traffic lights were not programmed to facilitate traffic, there is no statistical evidence to think otherwise. If you pay attention you will realize that the amount of green traffic lights is almost equal to the amount of non-green traffic lights, with this we can conclude that what happened was that the traffic lights turned green by chance and not by configuration.
