How do you calculate the probability of two mutually exclusive events?

Back

The probability of two mutually exclusive events is the sum of their individual probabilities.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the probability of the union of two events?

Back

The probability of the union of two events A and B is given by P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B).
