Question – Explain addition theorem in probability.
Addition Theorem in Probability : As n (Ø) = 0, it follows that P(Ø) = 0.
_____
By definition, P(X) =
n(X) = 1. n(X)
If A and B are two events, then n(A ∪ B) = n (A) + n (B) + n (A ∩ B). Therefore, P (A ∩ B) = P (A) + P (B) – P(A ∩ B).
If A and B are two mutually exclusive events, then the probability of their union is the sum of the probabilities of A and
B. i.e., if A ∩ B = ∅, then P (AB) = P (A) + P (B).
