This document defines and provides examples of simple, compound, mutually exclusive and inclusive events. It explains that for mutually exclusive events, the probability of A or B equals the sum of the individual probabilities, while for inclusive events it equals the sum of the individual probabilities minus the probability they both occur. It then gives examples of calculating probabilities for various card draws and die rolls.

2.  A simple
event is one event.
 A compound
event is an event that
consists of two or more simple
events.

3.  Two
events that cannot occur at the
same time are called mutually
exclusive.
 If
events can overlap they are
inclusive.

4.  Mutually
 P(A or B)
Exclusive:
= P(A) + P(B)
 Inclusive:
 P(A or B) =
 P(A and
P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B)
B) = probability that both
things will happen

5.  A card
is randomly selected from a
standard 52-card deck. What is the
probability that it is an ace or a face
card?

6.  You
roll a six-sided die. What is the
probability of rolling a multiple of 3
or 5?

7.  You
roll a six-sided die. What is the
probability of rolling an even
number or a 3?

8.  A card
is randomly selected from a
standard deck. What is the
probability it is a heart or face card?

9.  You
roll a six-sided die. What is the
probability of rolling a multiple of 3
or a multiple of 2?

10.  You
roll a six-sided die. What is the
probability of rolling an odd number
or a multiple of 3?
