As we learnt in

Algebra of events -

[A\cup B\rightarrow at least one event.

A\cap B\rightarrow both occur simultaneous.

A\cap \overline{B}= A-B, occurrence of event A but not B.

\overline{A}\cap \overline{B}\rightarrow neither A or B.]

- wherein

where A & B are any two events.

 

 

 

Set A = \left \{ 4, 5, 6 \right \}

Set B = \left \{ 1, 2, 3, 4 \right \}

Set A\cup B = \left \{ 1, 2,3, 4, 5, 6 \right \}

Which is set of all possible outcomes. Hence

P\left ( A\cup B \right ) = 1
