    The probability of finding the light red is 0.20 (20%).

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We have 3 options. The number of times we can get the light is 10.

    To get the probability equally likely of having a traffic light red we use the following formula

    P=# of possibilities that meet the condition / #of equally likely possibilities.

    In this case, the number of equally likely possibilities is 50 (35 seconds green, 5 seconds yellow, and 10 seconds red).

    P (red) = 10/50=0.20
