The event A has probability 0.13 of occurring; and the event B has probability 0.34 of occurring. Also it is known that P(A and B) = 0.1. Calculate P(A or B) to two decimal places.
Question
The event A has probability 0.13 of occurring; and the event B has probability 0.34 of occurring. Also it is known that P(A and B) = 0.1. Calculate P(A or B) to two decimal places.
Solution
The probability of either event A or event B occurring is given by the formula:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
We can substitute the given values into this formula:
P(A or B) = 0.13 + 0.34 - 0.1
This simplifies to:
P(A or B) = 0.37
So, the probability of either event A or event B occurring is 0.37, or 37%, to two decimal places.

It is known that P(A) = 0.3, P(B) = 0.65, P(A and B) = 0.15 and P(A or B) = 0.8. Given that A occurs, what is the probability that B also occurs
We found that P(A and B) = 0.15. Since the probability that both events happen at the same time is not 0, it means that events A and B have some outcomes in common. Therefore, the events A and B are not mutually exclusive.To compute P(A or B) means that we wish to find the probability that either A happened or B happened. Since the events are not mutually exclusive, we can apply the general addition rule for events. Recall that P(A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.5.P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A and B) = 0.3 + 0.5 − =
