  • A U B
    is the probability of A or B
  • A n B
    is the probability of A and B
  • A'
    is the probability of Not A
  • A and B are mutually exclusive
    • venn diagram circles do not overlap
    • P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B)
    • P (A n B) = 0
  • A and B are independent
    • one event has no effect on the other
    • P(A n B) = P(A) x P(B)
