    The probability of selecting a hat from a box is 1/3. The probability of selecting a toy car from the same box is 1/4. What is the probability of selecting a hat or a toy car?

    Let me see.

    Let A = hat

    Let B= toy car

    P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

    P(A or B) = (1/3) + (1/4)

    Yes?
