The video tutorial explains the addition rule of probability, which is used to calculate the probability of at least one of multiple events occurring. It covers both mutually exclusive and non-mutually exclusive events, using examples like rolling dice, drawing cards, and students playing sports. The tutorial demonstrates how to apply the rule by adding probabilities and adjusting for overlaps in non-mutually exclusive scenarios. The video concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.

What is the probability of rolling a 2 or a 5 on a die?

• 1/12

• 2/6

• 1/6

• 1/3

Can a single roll of a die result in both a 2 and a 5?

• Yes, always

• Yes, if it's a special die

• No, it's not possible

• Only on Tuesdays

How do you calculate the probability of at least one of two events happening?

• Divide one probability by the other

• Multiply their probabilities

• Add their probabilities

• Subtract one probability from the other

What are mutually exclusive events?

• Events that must occur together

• Events that have no outcome in common

• Events that are unrelated

• Events that can occur at the same time

What must be subtracted when calculating the probability of non-mutually exclusive events to avoid double counting?

• The product of the probabilities

• The intersection of the events
