2.1 INTRODUCTION
You have already learnt about probability axioms and ways to evaluate probability
of events in some simple cases.
In this unit, we discuss ways to evaluate the probability of combination of events.
For this, we derive the addition rule which deals with the probability of union of
two events and the multiplication rule which deals with thc probability of
intersection of two events.
