Probability of Union and
Intersection of Two Event
•Compound
  events – defined as a composition of
two or more other events They can be formed in
two ways:
• Union-the union of two events A and B,
denoted as A∪B, is the event that occurs if either
A or B or both occur on a single performance of
an experiment.
• Intersection – the intersection of two events A
and B, denoted as A B, is the event that occurs if
both A and B on a single performaceof the
experiment
•Union
  and intersection
