Calculating Probability of Disjoint Events: The Addition Rule

This video tutorial explains how to calculate the probability of disjoint events using the addition rule. It introduces key terms like 'event' and 'disjoint', and provides examples using dice and cards to illustrate the concept. The lesson emphasizes the importance of identifying disjoint events and applying the addition rule correctly. It concludes with a recap of the key points covered.
