Answer:

Most people found the probability of just stopping at the first light and the probability of just stopping at the second light and added them together. I'm just going to show another valid way to solve this problem. You can solve these kinds of problems whichever way you prefer.

There are three possibilities we need to consider:

Being stopped at both lights

Being stopped at neither light

Being stopped at exactly one light

The sum of the probabilities of all of the events has to be 1 because there is a 100% chance that one of these possibilities has to occur, so the probability of being stopped at exactly one light is 1 minus the probability of being stopped at both lights minus the probability of being stopped at neither.

Because the lights are independent, the probability of being stopped at both lights is just the probability of being stopped at the first light times the probability of being stopped at the second light. (0.4)(0.7) = 0.28

The probability of being stopped at neither is the probability of not being stopped at the first light, which is 1-0.4 or 0.6, times the probability of not being stopped at the second light, which is 1-0.7 or 0.3. (0.6)(0.3) = 0.18

Based on the Egyptian Social Pyramid, which statement below is true?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Third Option

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use process of elimination to find the answer to this question. It's not the first option because a scribes job was mainly in the government district as writers/record keepers meaning they don't really protect the kingdom from invasion. It's not the second options because Merchants were traders, meaning they don't make up the Pharaohs police force because all they do is sell goods to Egyptians. Then it's not fourth option because farmers, servants, and slaves make up way more then 20% of ancient Egypt. Leaving the third option meaning it's your answer.

Hope this helps.
