5. Addition rules

6. Two Events Happening Together
One of the multiplication rules can be used any time we are trying to find the probability of two events happening together
Pictorially, we are looking for the probability of the shaded region
The Event A and B

7. One Event OR Another
Another way to combine events is to consider the possibility of one event OR another occurring
For instance, if a sports car saleswoman gets an extra bonus if she sells a convertible or a car with leather upholstery, she is interested in the probability that you will buy a car that is a convertible or that has leather upholstery

8. The Event A or B

9. Example: Events Combined with OR
Consider an introductory statistics class with 31 students
The students range from freshmen through seniors; some students are male and some are female
Sample Space for Statistics Class

10. Example Suppose we select one student at random from the class
How do we find the probability that the student is either a freshman or a sophomore?
Since there are 15 freshmen out of 31 students,
P (freshmen) =
Since there are 8 sophomores out of 31 students,
P (sophomore) =
P (freshmen or sophomore) =

11. Example
If we select one student at random from the class, what is the probability that the student is either a male or a sophomore?

12. Example
If we simply add P (sophomore) and P (male), we’re including P (sophomore and male) twice in the sum
To compensate for this double summing, we simply subtract P (sophomore and male) from the sum
Therefore, P (sophomore or male)
= P (sophomore) + P (male) – P (sophomore and male)

13. Addition Rules

14. Example: Mutually Exclusive Events
We are playing Monopoly and on our next move we need to throw a sum bigger than 8 on the two dice in order to land on our own property and pass Go
What is the probability that we will roll a sum bigger than 8?
Solution:
The largest sum that can come up is 12 and the only sums larger than 8 are 9, 10, 11, and 12
These outcomes are mutually exclusive, since only one of these sums can possibly occur on one throw of the dice

15. Example
The probability of throwing more than 8 is the same as P(9 or 10 or 11 or 12)
Since the events are mutually exclusive,
P(9 or 10 or 11 or 12) = P(9) + P(10) + P(11) + P(12)

16. Practice Suppose an employee is selected
at random from the group of 140
