Question

a group of people were asked if they had run a red light in the last year. 209 responded \yes\, and 489 responded
o\. find the probability that if a person is chosen at random, they have run a red light in the last year. give your answer as a fraction or decimal to 4 decimal places question help: video(https://)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of people

The total number of people is the sum of those who responded "yes" and those who responded "no". So, $209 + 489=698$.

Step2: Calculate the probability

The probability $P$ of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. Here, the number of favorable outcomes (people who ran a red - light) is 209, and the total number of outcomes is 698. So, $P=\frac{209}{698}\approx0.2994$.

Answer:

$0.2994$
