Events
  • Exclusive Events
    • Two events are exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time.
    • The OR Rule:
      • For exclusive events A and B:
      • p(A or B) = p(A) + p(B)
  • Independent Events
    • Two events are independent if an occurrence of one is unaffected by the occurrence of the other.
    • The AND Rule:
      • p(A and B) = p(A) × p(B)
