Question 1165870: The city finds empirically that the probability that an automobile going through the intersection of 5th and Main will run a red light sometime during a given day is 8.9%, and the probability that an automobile going through the intersection of 7th and Polk will run a red light sometime during a given day is 11.7%. Suppose a car is picked at random at 5th and Main on a given day and another at random at 7th and Polk. Write each probability as a percentage rounded to one decimal place.
What is the probability that the car will not run a red light at 7th and Polk? Answer by ikleyn(52921) (Show Source):
