Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the given statement

The statement claims that for two statistically independent events \( A \) and \( B \), the joint probability \( P(A B) = P(A) + P(B) \).

Step 2: Recall the definition of joint probability for independent events

For two independent events \( A \) and \( B \), the joint probability is given by: \[ P(A B) = P(A) \cdot P(B) \]

Step 3: Compare the given statement with the correct formula

The given statement \( P(A B) = P(A) + P(B) \) contradicts the correct formula \( P(A B) = P(A) \cdot P(B) \). Therefore, the statement is false.

Final Answer

The statement is False.
