3 0

To complete the table it is necessary to know the possibilities that the sergeant has to change or remain in an intersection. The probabilities (depending on the box) are:

0
0.2
0.25
0.33

<h3>How to calculate the probability of intersection change? </h3>

To know the probability of intersection change, it is necessary to locate the police officer at one of the intersections. Subsequently, count how many possibilities of change you have, for example: 3 possibilities and finally add the possibility of remaining in the intersection as shown below:

Intersection 3 has 3 possibilities of changing towards intersections 2, 8 and 4. Additionally, it has the possibility of staying at intersection 3, that is, it has 4 possible decisions.

To know the probability we divide the number 1 (because it is only a decision that we have to make) and divide it by the number of possibilities (4).

1 ÷ 4 = 0.25

According to the image we can infer that in some intersections they only have 3, 4 and 5 possibilities, so the probability of change will be different as shown below:
