Document Summary
5. 2 the addition rule and complements learning objectives: use the addition rule for disjoint events, use the general addition rule, compute the probability of an event using the complement rule. 5. 2 the addition rule and complements 5. 2. 1 use the addition rule for disjoint events (1 of 8) Two events are disjoint if they have no outcomes in common. Another name for disjoint events is mutually exclusive events. 5. 2 the addition rule and complements 5. 2. 1 use the addition rule for disjoint events (2 of 8) We often draw pictures of events using venn diagrams. These pictures represent events as circles enclosed in a rectangle. The rectangle represents the sample space, and each circle represents an event. For example, suppose we randomly select a chip from a bag where each chip in the bag is labeled 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
