Addition Rule for Probability : Venn diagrams and the addition rule for probability 
Course Topic(s): Probability | Basic Probability, basic rules
This video looks at the problem of drawing an object from a bag with 8 green cubes, 9 green spheres, 5 yellow cubes, and 7 yellow spheres. The addition rule (inclusion-exclusion rule) is derived for the event that the object is yellow or a cube.
