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 is equal to the sum of their individual probabilities minus the probability of their intersection. Mathematically, it is expressed as: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B).

What is the formula for calculating the probability of two independent events A and B occurring?

Back

For independent events, the probability of both A and B occurring is given by: P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B).

If the probability of event A is 0.3 and the probability of event B is 0.5, what is the probability of either A or B occurring if they are mutually exclusive?

Back

If A and B are mutually exclusive, P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) = 0.3 + 0.5 = 0.8.
