The Singapore we know today has a history marked by rapid transformations. Created initially by British political and economic interests, it was the local and world economic changes that proved to be the great spring of transformation of the country and its society.
A Brief Chronology
2nd century. First records of Singapore.14th century. Origins of the name of Singapore, Singapore or "City of the Lion".1819. Sultanate of Johor allows the installation of a British commercial warehouse on the island.Second World War. Japanese invade the British colony.1955. Self-government for Singapore.1958. Birth of the State of Singapore.1963. Singapore integrates Malaya into Malaysia.1965. Singapore is no longer part of Malaysia. The Republic of Singapore is born.The Primors
The earliest records about Singapore are from the second century where it appears on a map created by the mathematician, astrologer and geographer Ptolemy. In the third century there are Chinese accounts in which it is termed "Island at the End", a reference to its location at the extreme end of the Malay Peninsula.
The name Singapore had its origin in the 14th century, when the Prince of Srivijaya when visiting the region would have seen a lion (something very unlikely for the region, which was inhabited by tigers and not lions). After this supposed encounter, the region happened to gain the name of Singapore, that in Sanskrit means City of the Lion (singa = lion and pure = city).

The Himalayas separate _____________
Alexeev081 [22]
B. The Himalayans separate India from the rest of Asia. One way to remember is that China and India fought a war in 1962, and they both have troops up guarding the McMahon Line to this day. India and China are in a superpower competition. China builds dams which impacts India's rivers, increasing the potential for hostilities. Adding to their tensions is the fact that China just made friends with Pakistan. It's very complicated and it involves every nation in Asia. If you remember that the Himalayans are an important barrier between these two countries, you're good to go.

A town has two shopping malls. A survey conducted on the shopping preferences of the town's residents showed that 62% of the res
jeyben [28]

Given:

62% of the residents visit Comet Mall.

73% of the residents visit Star Mall.

48% of the residents visit both malls.

To find:

The probability that a resident chosen at random shops at either Comet Mall or at Star Mall.

Solution:

Let A be the event that the residents visit Comet Mall and B be the event that residents visit Star Mall. Then, we have

P(A)=62\%

P(B)=73\%

P(A\cap B)=48\%

We need to find the probability that a resident chosen at random shops at either Comet Mall or at Star Mall. It means, we have to find the value of P(A\cup B).

We know that,

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)

On substituting the given values, we get

P(A\cup B)=62\%+73\%-48\%

P(A\cup B)=87\%

Therefore, the probability that a resident chosen at random shops at either Comet Mall or at Star Mall is 87%.
