$A$ and $B$ are events such that $P(A)=0.42$, $P(B)=0.48$ and $P(A$ and $B)=0.16 .$ Determine $P (A$ or $B).$
It is given that $P ( A )=0.42$, $P ( B )=0.48$, $P ( A $ and $B )=0.16$
We know that $P ( A$ or $B )= P ( A )+ P ( B )- P ( A $ and $B )$
$P ( A$ or $B )=0.42+0.48-0.16=0.74$

An electronic assembly consists of two subsystems, say, $A$ and $B$. From previous testing procedures, the following probabilities are assumed to be known :
$\mathrm{P}$ $( A$ fails $)=0.2$
$P(B$ fails alone $)=0.15$
$P(A$ and $ B $ fail $)=0.15$
Evaluate the following probabilities $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A}$ fails alone $)$
