If the probabilities of A, B, and A or B are 0.4, 0.26, and 0.436. Then the probability of A and B will be 0.224.

<h3>What is the addition rule of size for two subsets?</h3>

For two subsets A and B of the universal set U, we have:

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

Then the expression can be written as

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∪ B)

The probabilities are given below.

P(A) = 0.4

P(B)=0.26

P(A ∪ B) = 0.436

Then the probability of A and B will be

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∪ B)

P(A ∩ B) = 0.4 + 0.26 - 0.436

P(A ∩ B) = 0.66 - 0.436

P(A ∩ B) = 0.224
