6. Starting at a fixed time, each car entering an intersection is observed to see whether it turns left (L), right (R), or goes straight ahead (A). The experiment terminates as soon as a car is observed to turn left. Let X = the number of cars observed. What are possible X values? List five outcomes and their associated X values.

Starting at a fixed time, each car entering an intersection is observed to see whether it turns left $(L),$ right $(R),$ or goes straight ahead $(A) .$ The experiment terminates as soon as a car is observed to turn left. Let $X=$ the number of cars observed. What are possible $X$ values? List five outcomes and their associated $X$ values.

Cars leaving the highway can take a right turn (R), left turn $(L),$ or go straight $(S)$ You are collecting data on traffic patterns at this intersection and you group your observations by taking four cars at a time every 5 minutes. a) List a few outcomes in your sample space U. How many are there? b) List the outcomes in the event that all cars go in the same direction. c) List the outcomes that only two cars turn right. d) List the outcomes that only two cars go in the same direction.
Probability
Basic definitions
A vehicle arriving at an intersection can turn right, turn left, or continue straight ahead. The experiment consists of observing the movement of a single vehicle through the intersection. a. List the sample space for this experiment. b. Assuming that all sample points are equally likely, find the probability that the vehicle turns.
