Solve the problem. -A traffic light at an intersection has a 120-sec cycle. The light is green for 80 sec, yellow for 5 sec, and red for 35 sec. a. When a motorist approaches the intersection, find the probability that the light will be red. (Assume that the color of the light is defined as the color when the car is 100 ft from the Intersection. This is the approximate distance at which the driver makes a decision to stop or go.) b. If a motorist approaches the intersection twice during the day, find the probability that the light Will be red both times.

Using calculus, we can show that (1+x)n=1+nx+n(n1)2!x2+n(n1)(n2)3!x3+, for x<1( 1 + x ) ^ { n } = 1 + n x + \frac { n ( n - 1 ) } { 2 ! } x ^ { 2 } + \frac { n ( n - 1 ) ( n - 2 ) } { 3 ! } x ^ { 3 } + \ldots , \text { for } | x | < 1 This formula can be used to evaluate binomial expressions raised to noninteger exponents. Use the first four terms of this infinite series to approximate the given expression. Round to 3 decimal places if necessary. - (1.3)4/3( 1.3 ) ^ { 4 / 3 }
