    The list that represents the sample space for two mornings at the stop light is:

    (R, R)

    (R, G)

    (R, Y)

    (Y, R)

    (Y, G)

    (Y, Y)

    (G, R)

    (G, G)

    (G, Y)

    11.11% probability of the light being red on two mornings.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

    In this problem:

    We build the sample space similar to a truth table.

    I am going to say that R is red, Y is yellow and G is green

    The sample space for two mornings is:

    All the possible outcomes, that is:

    (R, R)

    (R, G)

    (R, Y)

    (Y, R)

    (Y, G)

    (Y, Y)

    (G, R)

    (G, G)

    (G, Y)

    The size of the sample space is 9 (9 total outcomes). Only one outcome is desired, (R, R). So

    p = 1/9 = 0.1111

    11.11% probability of the light being red on two mornings.
