p(a' ∩ b') formula

Is there any formula for it?
Surely it's just 1 - p(a) - p(b) + p(a and b)?

You can make a formula for anything. Draw a Venn diagram and try to come up with one.

Thanks I tried and made two intersecting circles and subtracted bothe the circles from the total and added the intersection as it was overlapped and it worked out just as @guarddyyy said. Thank you for the help :smile:

De Morgan's law is also a thing you might find useful.

P(AB)=P([AB])=1P(AB)=1P(A)P(B)+P(AB)P(A' \cap B') = P([A \cup B]') = 1-P(A \cup B) = 1- P(A) - P(B) + P(A \cap B)
