Exclusive and Inclusive Probabilities—Adding Probabilities
A simple event is one event.
A compound event is an event that consists of two or more simple events.
Two events that cannot occur at the same time are called mutually exclusive
.
Probability of Mutually Exclusive Events
If two events, A and B, are mutually exclusive, then the probability that A or B occurs is the sum of their probabilities.
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
Two events whose outcomes may be the same are called inclusive events.
Probability of Inclusive Events
If two events, A and B, are inclusive, then the probability of A or B occurs is the sum of their
probabilities decreased by the probability of both occurring.
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B)
