occur)

General Rule
When finding the probability that event A occurs or event B occurs, find the total number of ways A can occur and the number of ways B can occur, but find the total in such a way that no outcome is counted more than once.
Compound Event
5Chapter 3. Section 3-3. Triola, Elementary Statistics, Eighth Edition. Copyright 2001. Addison Wesley Longman
Formal Addition RuleP(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
where P(A and B) denotes the probability that A and B both occur at the same time.
Compound Event
6Chapter 3. Section 3-3. Triola, Elementary Statistics, Eighth Edition. Copyright 2001. Addison Wesley Longman
Formal Addition RuleP(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
where P(A and B) denotes the probability that A and B both occur at the same time.
Intuitive Addition RuleTo find P(A or B), find the sum of the number of ways event A can occur and the number of ways event B can occur, adding in such a way that every outcome is counted only once. P(A or B) is equal to that sum, divided by the total number of outcomes.
