Explain with answer
![(iv) On the assumption that the two events A and B are mutually exclusive, P(A or B)=
P(A) + P(B). How does P(A or B) change if the two events are not mutually
exclusive?
(a) P(A) + P(B)] must be multiplied by P(AB)
(b) [P(A) + P(B)] must be divided by P(AB)
(c) P(AB) must be subtracted from P(A) + P(B)
(d) P(AB) must be added to P(A) + P(B)](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb4fa64f0-9af7-480a-b1d8-44831f3a1adc%2Fcceed7bc-f20d-42f4-a5dd-6de1f1cc213f%2Fnzjefy_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
