Does this make sense? My notes are contradicting each other and it is pissing me off......

P(Not A n B) = P(B) - P(A n B) ????????

The 'Not A' is basically the compliment of A, I just don't know how to do an A with a line on top :colonhash:

I am bare confused.


That does make sense.

If you're ever confused, consider two dice.

Let A be 'roll a 3 on dice 1' with probability 1/6, ao NOT A = 5/6.

Let B be 'roll an even on dice 2) with prob 1/2.

Then P(NOT A n B) = 5/6*1/2 = 5/12.

P(B)-P(AnB) = 1/2 - 1/2*1/6 = 5/12.
