2. How do you find P(A or B) if A and B are independent events for one action, such as spinning a four-color spinner once and finding P(red or blue)?

P(red or blue) = .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find P(A or B), if A and B are independent events for one action, such as spinning a four-color spinner once.

Firstly, as we know that the formula for finding P(A or B) is given by;

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

Since it is stated that event A and B are independent, this means that there is no dependence of any one event on another event, so;

P(A and B) = P(A) P(B)

Now, we can find P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A) P(B); is we know that the probabilities of happening of both events.

Similarly, P(red or blue) = P(red) + P(blue) - P(red) P(blue).

Since the event is spinning a four-color spinner once and assuming there are four different colors, so the probability of wheel stopping on each color is ().

So, P(red or blue) =

                             =  = .
