How do I learn probability from scratch?
Can you explain the addition rule to me?
The addition rule states that the probability of either of two mutually exclusive events occurring is equal to the sum of their individual probabilities. For example, if you want to find the probability of either rolling a 1 or a 2 on a standard die, you would add the probability of rolling a 1 (1/6) to the probability of rolling a 2 (1/6), giving you a probability of 1/3 or approximately 0.3333.
