Practice mode Probability

For two mutually exclusive events, what does the addition law of probability state?

Correct answer D. P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B)

Explanation

Mutually exclusive events have no overlap, so P(A∩B) = 0 and the general addition rule reduces to the simple sum of the two probabilities.
