MELC: Illustrates the probability of a union of two events; find the probability of (𝐴 ∪ 𝐵).

The union of two events is a new event that contains all of the outcomes that are in at
least one of the two events. The probability of the union of events A and B, denoted by
P(A∪B).

B A
A

B A B

union of two events

𝑃(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) = 𝑃(𝐴) + 𝑃(𝐵) − 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) 𝑃(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) = 𝑃(𝐴) + 𝑃(𝐵) 𝑃(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) = 𝑃(𝐵)

Illustrative Example:
Max rolled a fair die and wished to find the probability of “the number that turns up is
even or number greater than 3”.
From the sample space, Let A be the event “even number turns up” and B is the event
“number greater than 3.”

Solution:
Sample Space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
From the given statement A = { 2, 4, 6} and B={4, 5, 6}
then the number that turns up is even and number
greater than 3 (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵)={ 4, 6}. So, the probability
of “ the number that turns up is even or number greater
than 3” is
𝑃(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) = 𝑃(𝐴) + 𝑃(𝐵) − 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵)

𝑃(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) = + − 26 = 46
