Question
What is 'or' and 'and' in probability
Answers
GPT 3.5
'Or' and 'and' are terms used in probability to describe the outcomes of multiple events occurring together.
- In probability, 'or' refers to the probability of either one event occurring, the other event occurring, or both events occurring. In other words, it describes the probability of at least one of the events happening. For example, if event A and event B are two independent events, then the probability of event A or event B occurring is calculated by adding the individual probabilities of event A and event B and subtracting the probability of both events occurring (if they are not mutually exclusive).
- In probability, 'and' refers to the probability of both events occurring simultaneously. For independent events A and B, the probability of both events happening is calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities of event A and event B. This is known as the intersection of the events.
