Solution



Given
In this question, we are given that
    • The probability that any car jumps a red light is 15%
    • One car jumps the red light

To find
We need to determine
    • The probability that the next car will also jump the red light

Approach and Working out
The probability of any car jumping the red light is not dependent on what happened with the previous car, and hence, it will remain same, i.e. 15%

Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Correct Answer: Option A
