What is the Addition Rule in probability?

Back

The Addition Rule states that the probability of the occurrence of at least one of two events A or B is given by P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B).

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

Back

For mutually exclusive events, the probability of either event occurring is the sum of their individual probabilities: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B).

What is the difference between independent and dependent events in probability?

Back

Independent events do not affect each other's outcomes, while dependent events do. For independent events, P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B).
