The Addition Rule states that the probability of the occurrence of at least one of two events is the sum of their individual probabilities minus the probability of their intersection.

Front

Define the Multiplication Rule of Probability.

Back

The Multiplication Rule states that the probability of the occurrence of two independent events is the product of their individual probabilities.
