120sM10SP-IIIg-1 - Q3
In the formula for finding the probability of a union of two events: P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B), why is P(A ∩ B) subtracted from P(A) + P(B)?
P(A ∩ B) has been counted twice through P(A) and P(B).
Either A or C
This rule determines the probability of event A or B occurring, not A and B, so this factor is subtracted.
There is no explanation other than it’s just a part of the rule
