Solving probability problems using addition rule: A bag contains 4 red and 5 blue marbles. What is the probability of drawing a red or a blue marble?
The probability of drawing a red or a blue marble is 4/9 - 5/9 = -1
The probability of drawing a red or a blue marble is 4/9 + 5/9 - 0 = 1
The probability of drawing a red or a blue marble is 4/9 * 5/9 = 20/81
The probability of drawing a red or a blue marble is 4/9 / 5/9 = 0.8
Events A and B are mutually exclusive. If the probability of event A is 0.4 and the probability of event B is 0.3, what is the probability of A or B occurring?

Solving probability problems using addition rule: In a group of students, 60% like pizza and 40% like burgers. 30% like both pizza and burgers. What is the probability that a student chosen at random likes either pizza or burgers?
0.60 - 0.40 = 0.20
0.60 x 0.40 = 0.24
0.60 / 0.40 = 1.50
0.60 + 0.40 - 0.30 = 0.70
