Simulation Problems
1. Traffic Lights: Coming to school each day, Anne rides through three traffic lights, A, B, and C. The
probability that any one light is green is 0.3, and the probability that it is not green is 0.7. Use a simulation
to answer questions below. Run 20 trials.
We must assume that the lights operate independently.
