Answer 1

To find the probability that the next car through the intersection will be black divide the number of black car by the total number of cars.

The total number of cars is the sum of the number of cars of each color, which is 58.

`P=(9)/(58)=0.155`

Expressed as a percent it is 15.5%.

It means that the correct answer is the last choice.
