Boole's Inequality  


Course Topic(s): Probability | Basic Probability, basic rules

This is a brief article on Boole's inequality, which gives an upper bound on the probability of countable collection of events. The article also gives Bonferroni's inequalities which give upper and lower bounds on the probability of a union, and is based on truncating the inclusion-exclusion expansion.
