What is the probability of two mutually exclusive events?
Two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time
A deck of cards has 52 cards
What is the probability that a card is either a queen or a jack? Note word OR for mutually exclusive events, , We simply add here
The probability of a King or jack is 4/52 or 1/13,
When we combine these two Events:
The probability of a King or a Jack is (1/13) + (1/13) = 2/13
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
