In some situations, more than one event could occur during a single trial. In some situations, more than one event could occur during a single trial. Mutually Exclusive events are said to be Disjoint. The 2 outcomes could not happen simultaneously Mutually Exclusive events are said to be Disjoint. The 2 outcomes could not happen simultaneously Probability of Mutually Exclusive Events
3
Addition Rule for Mutually Exclusive Events When events A and B are mutually exclusive, the probability that A or B will occur is given by the addition rule for mutually exclusive events
4
Ex Teri attends a fundraiser where 15 T-shirts are being given away at the door. The winners are randomly given a shirt from a stock of 2 black, 4 blue, 9 white shirts. Teri really likes the black and blue shirts. Assuming that Teri wins first, What is the probability that she will get the shirt that she likes.

Ex An auto parts manufacturer is testing a product to see whether it requires a special coating to prevent rusting. -The quality control testing show that rust has a 0.2% probability of damaging the part. -It also has a 0.6% chance of damaging parts that are attached to it. -Lastly there is a 0.1% probability of damaging both the part and other parts it will be attached to. Determine the probability that rust will damage the products.
