The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the probability of the union of two events A and B, we can use the formula for the probability of the union of two events. Here are the steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Events**: We have two events, A and B. The union of these two events, denoted as \( A \cup B \), represents all outcomes that are in either A, B, or both. 2. **Use the Formula for Union of Two Events**: The probability of the union of two events is given by the formula: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] where: - \( P(A) \) is the probability of event A occurring, - \( P(B) \) is the probability of event B occurring, - \( P(A \cap B) \) is the probability that both events A and B occur simultaneously. 3. **Substitute Values**: If you have specific values for \( P(A) \), \( P(B) \), and \( P(A \cap B) \), substitute them into the formula to calculate \( P(A \cup B) \). 4. **Calculate**: Perform the arithmetic to find the value of \( P(A \cup B) \). ### Example Calculation: If we assume: - \( P(A) = 0.5 \) - \( P(B) = 0.4 \) - \( P(A \cap B) = 0.2 \) Then: \[ P(A \cup B) = 0.5 + 0.4 - 0.2 = 0.7 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the probability of the union of events A and B is: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \]
