Answer:

the probability that the light is​ red would be 5 or 5%

Explanation:

if we add all of the possible outcomes together like so :

50+6+14 we will get 70

now we know we want to find out the probabilty of it being red we need to divide 70 by 14 and we get 5 or 5% your welcome and me as a freind if you need more help or add me on messenger the 1 carlos is my name
