Question

The addition law is potentially helpful when we are interested in computing the probability of

Answer 1

Answer:

The union of two event

Step-by-step explanation:

Addition law of probability  define that probability of two event  is total sum of probability of any event subtract the probability of both events

There are two rules  in addition law:

Addition law 1 -  when both event are mutually exclusive, then probability of either event is the sum of each event probability.

P( A or B) = P(A) +P(B)

Addition law 2 -  when both events are non mutually exclusive then there in addition to the individual probability there is some overlap .

P( A or B) = P(A) +P(B) - P(A and B)
