Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Chapter 13.6, Problem 34HP
To determine

To describe why the sum of probabilities of mutually exclusive events is not always one.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Two events can be mutually exclusive if there is no common outcome of the both events. Whereas if there is any common outcome then the events becomes not mutually exclusive events.

When the two events have nothing in common they may have sum of probabilities different than 1.

Sum of probability is one when the favorable outcomes are equal to total outcomes.

But when mutually exclusive events are given it is not necessary that their favorable outcomes become equal to total outcomes.
