Correct answer: B. Mutually Exclusive events
- A. Independent events
- B. Mutually Exclusive events

- D. Empirical
Explanation
The special addition rule applies when events are mutually exclusive, so they cannot occur together and their probabilities are added directly. Independent events may occur together, so they require the general addition rule with a subtraction term.
