What does a Venn diagram represent?

Back

A Venn diagram visually represents the relationships between different sets, showing how they overlap and the elements they share.

What is the probability of an event?

Back

The probability of an event is a measure of the likelihood that the event will occur, calculated as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.

How do you calculate the probability of 'A and B'?

Back

The probability of 'A and B' is calculated by multiplying the probability of A by the probability of B, assuming A and B are independent events.

What is the formula for calculating the probability of 'A or B'?

Back

The probability of 'A or B' is calculated using the formula: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B).
