Addition Rule
The probability of a union, also called the Inclusion-Exclusion principle allows us to compute probabilities of composite events represented as unions (i.e., sums) of simpler events.
For events A1, ..., An in a probability space (S,P), the probability of the union for n=2 is
For n=3,
In general, for any n,
