Hey everyone, I’m in the middle of prepping for the GMAT, and I’ve hit a bit of a wall with the Data Interpretation section. I’m not sure if it's just me, but I feel like some of these questions are so tricky! They seem simple at first, but when I really start digging into the details, I get stuck. I came across this question the other day that really threw me off, and I’d love some advice on how to improve my approach. Here’s the question: The Problem (simplified): For each of the last 100 days at a certain factory, Light A was either on or off, and likewise for Light B. Every time Light A was off, Light B was also off, and every time Light B was on, Light A was also on. Additionally:
For exactly 40 of the last 100 days, at least one of the lights was on.
For exactly 20 of the last 100 days, both lights were on.
Now, I had to find the probabilities for P(A) and P(B), which are the chances that Light A or Light B was on, given a random day from the 100 days.
