Find P(A∪B) for Mutually Exclusive Events A and B
P
(
A
)
=
0.18
P
(
A
)
=
0.18
,
P
(
B
)
=
0.6
P
(
B
)
=
0.6
Step 1
When
A
A
and
B
B
are
mutually exclusive events
, the
probability
of
A
A
or
B
B
occurring is
P
(
A
∪
B
)
=
P
(
B
∪
A
)
=
P
(
A
)
+
P
(
B
)
P
(
A
∪
B
)
=
P
(
B
∪
A
)
=
P
(
A
)
+
P
(
B
)
, which is called the
addition
rule for
mutually exclusive events
A
A
and
B
B
.
P
(
A
∪
B
)
=
P
(
B
∪
A
)
=
P
(
A
)
+
P
(
B
)
P
(
A
∪
B
)
=
P
(
B
∪
A
)
=
P
(
A
)
+
P
(
B
)
Step 2
Fill in the known values.
P
(
A
∪
B
)
=
P
(
B
∪
A
)
=
0.18
+
0.6
P
(
A
∪
B
)
=
P
(
B
∪
A
)
=
0.18
+
0.6
Step 3
Add
0.18
0.18
and
0.6
0.6
.
P
(
A
∪
B
)
=
P
(
B
∪
A
)
=
0.78
P
(
A
∪
B
)
=
P
(
B
∪
A
)
=
0.78
