The difference between…. AND When you are asked to find the probability of Event 1 AND Event 2 happening, they both must occur. This is called the INTERSECTION of two sets. Operation: Multiplication OR When you are asked to find the probability of Event 1 OR Event 2 happening only one, or both could occur. This is called the UNION of two sets. Operation: Addition Notation: P ∩ Q Notation: P U Q
