of all the sample points that are NOT in A
How is a complement denoted?
Correct Answer -Aᶜ (A to the power of C)
How do you find the complement of an event?
Correct Answer -1 - the probability of the event
What is a union of events?
Correct Answer -the event containing all sample points that are in A, B or
BOTH (like a Venn Diagram)
How is a union denoted?
Correct Answer -A∪B
,What is an intersection of events?
Correct Answer -the set of all sample points that are in both A AND B (like
the middle portion of a Venn Diagram)
How is an intersection denoted?

What is the Addition Law?
Correct Answer -a formula that computes the probability of event A, or B,
or both A&B occurring
