Compound Probability

If two events A and B are disjoint, meaning they CANNOT happen at the same time, what is P(A or B)?

•  $P(A)-P(B)$  

•  $P(A)\cdot P(B)$  
  

•  $P(A)+P(B)$  

•  $\frac{P(A)}{P(B)}$

If two events A and B are NOT disjoint, meaning they CAN happen at the same time, what is P(A or B)?

•  $P(A)-P(B)+P\left(AandB\right)$  

•  $P(A)\cdot P(B)-P\left(AandB\right)$  
  

•  $P(A)+P(B)-P\left(AandB\right)$  

•  $\frac{P(A)}{P(B)}+P\left(AandB\right)$
