Non mutually exclusive events refer to events that can occur simultaneously or independently of each other, where the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the other event happening. The formula used to calculate the probability of non mutually exclusive events is: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) — P(A and B) In this formula, P(A) represents the probability of event A happening, P(B) represents the probability of event B happening, and P(A and B) represents the probability of both events A and B happening together. To better understand the concept of non mutually exclusive events, let's consider a few examples: 1. Tossing a Coin and Drawing a Card: Suppose you are tossing a fair coin and drawing a card from a standard deck. The probability of getting heads on the coin is 1/2, and the probability of drawing a spade card is 1/4. To calculate the probability of getting either heads on the coin or a spade card, you would use the formula: P(Heads or Spade) = P(Heads) + P(Spade) — P(Heads and Spade) = 1/2 + 1/— - (1/2 * 1/4) = 1/2 + 1/4 – 1/8 = 5/8 2. Rolling Two Dice: Consider rolling two fair six-sided dice. The probability of rolling an even number on one die is 3/6, and the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 on the other die is 2/6. To find the probability of rolling either an even number on one die or a number greater than 4 on the other die, we can use the formula: P(Even or >4) = P(Even) + P(>4) — P(Even and >4) = 3/6 + 2/— - (3/6 * 2/6) = 1/2 + 1/3 – 1/6 = 2/3 These examples demonstrate how the formula for non mutually exclusive events can be used to calculate the probability of events happening simultaneously or independently. Other types of non mutually exclusive events can include rolling multiple dice, drawing multiple cards, or choosing from multiple options. Each scenario requires the application of the formula to compute the overall probability.
