Union and Intersection of two events

Conditional Probability

B A
(first coin)
(third
coin)
APPROACHES OF PROBABILITY
1. Classical approach
2. Statistical approach
3. Axiomatic approach

Classical Approach
Statistical Approach
Axiomatic Approach
A and B are mutually exclusive

The occurrence of one event precludes the occurrence of the other

Addition
Rule
P(A) P(B)

P(A OR B) = P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B)


A and B are non mutually exclusive

(Can occur together)

Example: Male and smoker

Mo
Ad difi
di ed
Ru tion
P(A) P(B) le

P(A ∩ B)

P(A OR B) = P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)
