Title: P(A) + P(B) - P(A&B) = BOOM......head explosion

Ugh.....Statistics....

Unless these are special terms of some sort, the answer is 0.

But...they are special terms aren't they? I haven't done statistical stuff in a while.

So...the probability of your head exploding = P(A or B)?

Exactly!!  So it's pretty likely.  Have a mentioned how much I love statistics yet?

Ven Diagrams!!!! Whoo Hoo!

The answer should be P(A U B) right?

I just realized how dumb I am. Now I sort of remember basic statistics...

Close, but not quite, because U corresponds to the logical or.  You either need the operator for the logical exclusive or or you need to exclude the intersection.

The symbol for exclusive or is a + sign with a circle around it.

Not quite Matt. "Exclusive or" would be P(A)+P(B)-2P(A ∩ B). Looking at the Venn Diagram, P(A) is the area of circle A, P(B) is the area of circle B. If you add the two, you are adding the intersection twice, so subtracting it once leaves the "inclusive or" and subtracting it twice leaves the "exclusive or".

Redemptioncousin is correct.

Probability of event A + the Probability of event B minus Probability of A and B (simutlaneously).....   its the addition rule of statistics.  Nothing that you will ever use in real life.

Genesis 5:25. When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech.
26. And after he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters.

Methuselah lived a total of 969 Years. Now can we end this pointless spam?
