    P (A) = 0.47

    P (B) = 0.35

    The probability of an event occurring ranges from 0 to 1, or 0 to 100%.

    P (not A or not B) would be the complement of the events occurring.

    The probability of an event and its complement is always 1.

    Ex. P (A) + P (A') = 1

    P (A) + P (B) = 0.47 +.35 = 0.82

    P (not A or not B) = 1 - 0.82 = 0.18

    The probability of buying A or B is P (A∪B) = 0.47 + 0.35

    P (A∪B) = 0.82

    But the probability of NOT buying either is:

    P (A'∪B') = 1 - 0.82 = 0.18
