    Addition used for 'either or' events, Multiplication used for 'and' events

    Explanation:

    Addition is used when Probability is of 'one event or other event'

    Multiplication is used when Probability is of 'one event & other event'

    Ex : Probability of A winning = 0.4

    Probability of B winning = 0.3

    Probability (A or B winning) = 0.4 + 0.3 = 0.7

    Probability (A & B winning) = 0.4 x 0.3 = 0.12
