To find the probability of the union of events A or B (denoted as $ P(A \cup B) $), you can use the formula: \[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \] Given: - $ P(A) = 0.45 $ - $ P(B) = 0.6 $ - $ P(A \cap B) = 0.2 $ Substitute these values into the formula: \[ P(A \cup B) = 0.45 + 0.6 - 0.2 \]

\[ P(A \cup B) = 1.05 - 0.2 \]

\[ P(A \cup B) = 0.85 \] Therefore, the probability of either event A or event B occurring is 0.85.
