The Addition Rule:
Probability is the probably that event will happen – how likely the event will happen. The addition rule for probability: a statistical property that states the probability of one and/or two events occurring at the same time is equal to the probability of the first event occurring, plus the probability of the second event occurring, minus the probability that both events occur at the same time.
If events A and B are mutually exclusive or disjoint, then P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B)
Otherwise, P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B).
