Rules for Computing Probabilities
Rules of Addition
Special Rule of Addition - If two events
A and B are mutually exclusive, the
probability of one or the other event’s
occurring equals the sum of their
probabilities.
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

Multiplication Rule-Example
Solution:
The probability the first member made an airline reservation last year
is .
60, written as P(R1) = .60
The probability that the second member selected made a reservation is
also .60, so P(R2) = .60.
Since the number of AAA members is very large, you may assume that
R1 and R2 are independent.

Counting Rules – Multiplication:
Example
An automobile dealer
wants to advertise that
for $29,999 you can buy
a convertible, a two-door
sedan, or a four-door
model with your choice
of either wire wheel
covers or solid wheel
covers. How many
different arrangements of
models and wheel
covers can the dealer
offer?
