Step 1:

To find $ P(A \text{ and } B) $ we use multiplication rule for independent events:

$$ \color{blue}{P(A \text{ and } B) = P(A) \cdot P(B)} $$

In this example we have:

$$ \begin{aligned} P(A \text{ and } B) &= P(A) \cdot P(B) \\ P(A \text{ and } B) &= 0.22 \cdot 0.46 \\ P(A \text{ and } B) &= 0.1012 \end{aligned}$$

Step 2:

To find $ P(A \text{ or } B) $ we use an addition rule:

$$ \color{blue}{P(A \text{ or } B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \text{ and } B)}$$

In this example we have:

$$ \begin{aligned} P(A \text{ or } B) &= P(A) + P(B) - P(A \text{ and } B) \\ P(A \text{ or } B) &= 0.22 + 0.46 - 0.1012 \\ P(A \text{ or } B) &= 0.5788 \end{aligned}$$
