raffic engineers are investigating the high rate of fatal accidents at a lighted city intersection. They discover that 10 % of the cars that are within 200 feet of the intersection when the light turns red pass through the red light without stopping. Suppose two cars are now within 200 feet of the intersection and the light turns red. Assuming that drivers behave independently of one another, What is the probability that both drivers pass through the red light without stopping? (Please do not round your answer).
