MCQ
Choose the correct answer. If M and N are any two events, the probability that at least one of them occurs is:
  • A
    $\text{P(M)}+\text{P(N)}-2\text{P(M}\cap\text{N)}$
  • $\text{P(M)}+\text{P(N)}-\text{P(M}\cap\text{N)}$
  • C
    $\text{P(M)}+\text{P(N)}+\text{P(M}\cap\text{N)}$
  • D
    $\text{P(M)}+\text{P(N)}+2\text{P(M}\cap\text{N)}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\text{P(M)}+\text{P(N)}-\text{P(M}\cap\text{N)}$
If M and N are any two events.
$\text{P(M}\cup\text{N)}=\text{P(M)}+\text{P(N)}-\text{P(M}\cap\text{N)}$
