Answer:

3/118=0.02 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

In total, all the lights flash fro 118 seconds.

Because the yellow light takes up 3 of those 118 seconds, the probability that you come to a yellow light is 3/118 = 0.02542372881 round to the nearest hundredth

= 0.02
