Probability that the car encounters a green light on the first day: .

.
- Condition is met on the first three days and green light on the fourth day:
.

- Seventh day:
- Eighth day:
- Ninth day:
- Tenth day:
The question asks that the condition be met on all ten days. As a result, the probability of meeting the condition will be equal to the probability on the tenth day: .
