Suppose that an experiment has five separate mutually exclusive outcomes: A, B, C, D, and E. If the sample space for the experiment is a uniform sample space, what is P (A, B or E)?

Answer 1

P(A∪B∪E)
=P(A)+P(B)+P(E)

Answer 2

Thank you!

Answer 3

You're welcome!

Note that the probabilities can be added only if the events are mutually exclusive, as specified in the question.
