The addition rule for mutually exclusive probability is...


P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A + B).


P(A or B) = P(A) + P(A + B).


P(A or B) = P(A) + P(A - B).


P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B).

The correct addition rule for mutually exclusive probabilities is:

**P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B).**

When events A and B are mutually exclusive, it means that they cannot occur at the same time, so there is no overlap between them. Therefore, the probability of either A or B occurring is simply the sum of their individual probabilities.
