Lecture-15 IAddition & Multiplication Laws Lecture

This document discusses probability laws, including the addition law and multiplication law of probability. It explains that the addition law states that for events A and B, the probability of their union is equal to the probability of A plus the probability of B minus the probability of their intersection. It also provides examples of how to apply the addition law to multiple events. The document was prepared by Hazber Samson for a lecture on probability and statistics.

ADDITION LAW OF PROBABILITY

If A and B are any events then

P A  B   P A  PB   P A  B 

If A, B and C are any events then

P A  B  C   P A  PB   PC   P A  B   PB  C   P A  C   P A  B  C 

NOTE THAT

1. If A and B are mutually exclusive events then

P A  B   P A  PB 

2. In probability (or, all) means union ie  .


3. In probability (and, both) means intersection ie  .
4. To show that events A and B are mutually exclusive prove that P A  B   0

5. To show that events A and B are collectively exhaustive prove that P A  B   1

COMBINED EVENTS

1. P A  B   P( A )  P( B)  P( A  B)
