Detailed Solution

Statement : If A&B are any two events in a sample space of random experiment then

P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)

Case (i) : Suppose A & B are mutually exclusive events

AB=ϕP(AB)=P(ϕ)=0

From axiam of additivity  P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)=P(A)+P(B)0

Question Image

 

=P(A)+P(B)P(ϕ)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)

Case (ii) : Suppose A&B are not mutually exclusive 

ABϕAB=A(BA)

 

Question Image

 

P(AB)=P(A(BA))=P(A)+P(BA)

By axiam of additivity  A and B-A are disjoints

=P(A)+P[B(AB)]

=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)[ABB]

P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)
