When we are trying to find the probability of the disjunction of three or more events, sometimes it is easier to determine using negation.How?

To find the probability of the disjunction (OR) of three or more events, it can be easier to use negation. This means finding the probability that each event will not occur and then multiplying those probabilities by each other. The result can then be subtracted from 1 to get the probability of at least one of the events occurring (which is the disjunction of the events). So, the correct choice is B: find the probability that each event will not occur, multiply those probabilities by each other, and subtract the result from 1.
