Andrew decided to run a simulation to find the probability of him being late for work. He decided to determine this by considering the probability of two events. Event A: He gets stuck in rush hour traffic. Event B: He sleeps through his alarm. Andrew discovers that P(A)=0.25P(A)=0.25 and P(B)=0.33P(B)=0.33. Andrew will be late in the case where (A∪B)(A\cup B). What is the probability of Andrew being late? Assume that the events AA and BB are independent. \\ hint: The inclusion-exclusion principle for two events in a probability space states that P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)P(A\cup B) = P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B)
