Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The addition rule of probability states that the probability of either one of two independent events will occur is the sum of their individual probabilities. This means that if event A has a probability of 0.3 and event B has a probability of 0.6, then the probability of either A or B occurring is 0.3 + 0.6 = 0.9.
