    Step-by-step explanation:

    If the probability of green, P (green) is 40%, the probability of red, P (red) is 60%.

    The probability of a light being red is not affected by the colour of the previous light, so at each of the 3 lights, the probability of red is always 60%.

    To find the probability that all three lights will be red, multiply the three probabilities together. (Convert them to decimals first).

    0.6 x 0.6 x 0.6 = 0.216
