Primes¶
- Complement
- Probability. \(P(A^c) = 1 - P(A)\); many problems are tractable only via the complement, as when "at least one" in a long list is computed as one minus the probability of "none."
This sourceStandard text giving the complement rule P(A^c) = 1 − P(A) and the 'at least one' = 1 − P(none) computation for independent trials. (

- Union
- In probability it is the event \(A \cup B\) — "\(A\) or \(B\) occurs" — whose probability obeys \(P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)\), inclusion–exclusion again.
This sourceGives the addition rule P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A ∩ B), inclusion–exclusion for the probability of a union of events.
