Question

fill in the blank. when using the ____ always be careful to avoid double - counting outcomes. when using the ____ always be careful to avoid double - counting outcomes. addition rule polygraph test multiplication rule odds formula

Explanation:

In probability, when using the addition rule for non - mutually exclusive events, we must be careful to avoid double - counting outcomes. For example, when finding the probability of event A or event B, if they are not mutually exclusive, the intersection of A and B is counted in both P(A) and P(B), so we need to subtract P(A ∩ B) to avoid double - counting. The other options (polygraph test is a lie - detection test, multiplication rule is for independent events in a different context, and odds formula is for calculating odds) are not related to double - counting in this sense.

Answer:

addition rule
