Additive and Multiplicative Rules for Probability: Red Dress? Blue Dress? Both!
The sum of the parts is greater than the whole. An interactive uses a Venn-like model to show the percentage of females from a survey that have a blue dress, a red dress, or both. The pupils determine the numbers in each category...
