3. 6 General Probability Rules
1.) 0≤P(A)≤1 The probability that an event will occur is between 0 and 1
inclusively
2.) P(S) = 1 The sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes of an
event is always 1
3.) P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
The probability that event A or event B will happen is equal to the
probability that event A happens, plus the probability the event B happens
minus the probability of A and B happening simultaneously.
4.) P(AC) = 1-P(A) The probability of the complement of event A happening
is equal to 1 minus the probability of A happening
5.) P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B) if A and B are independent
The probability of event A and event B happening simultaneously is equal
to the probability that event A happens multiplied by the probability that
event B happens
6.) P(A or B or C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) if A,B,C are disjoint events
The probability that even A, B or C occur is equal to the sum of their
probabilities if the events are disjoint, if they are not disjoint, use rule #3
