The **principle of inclusion and exclusion** forms a general rule for the union between two *independent* events: The **principle of inclusion and exclusion** forms a general rule for the union between two *independent* events:
$$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)$$ $$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)$$
For independent events:
$$P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)$$
