A light can shine blue (B), red (), or yellow (Y) Every second the color changes and is recorded. Estimate the probability the next color will be red. B R Y R R R R Y R B R R

Answer:

The probability that the next color will be red is: [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event is defined as:

Probability=(Total number of favourable outcomes)/(Total number of outcomes )

Here we have to find the probability that the next colour is red is given by:

The recordings are given as:

B  R  Y  R  R  R  R  Y  R  B  R  R

Number of outcomes that red will come up=8

Total number of outcomes=12

Hence the probability is given by:

[tex]Probability=\dfrac{8}{12}=\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]
