The formal addition rule is P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B). A good example from the related link, from the addition rule section is: ; Suppose we wish to find the probability of drawing either a king or a spade in a single draw from a pack of 52 playing cards. ; We define the events A = 'draw a king' and B = 'draw a spade'. ; Since there are 4 kings in the pack and 13 spades, but 1 card is both a king and a spade, we have (same formula as above in symbols): : = 4/52 + 13/52 - 1/52 = 16/52 ; So, the probability of drawing either a king or a spade is 16/52 (= 4/13).

An Algorithmic solution is a solution that involves a series of actions/steps. For example, baking a cake. A Heuristic solution is a solution that requires knowledge, experience, and sometimes trial and error. For example, buying the best stock. While some problems require only one type of solution, most problems require a combination of the two different types of solutions.
-2 is the additive inverse of +2
Joint probability is the probability that two or more specific outcomes will occur in an event. An example of joint probability would be rolling a 2 and a 5 using two different dice.
In theoretical probability, the probability is determined by an assumed model (for example, the normal distribution). (compare with empirical probability)
