Using the additive rule, the probabilities are:
1.
P(A ∪ D) = P(A) + P(D) - P(A ∩ D) = 6/10 + 5/10 - 2/10 = 9/10
2.
P(B ∪ C) = P(B) + P(C) - P(B ∩ C) = 4/10 + 5/10 - 1/10 = 8/10

Using the additive rule, the probabilities are:
1.
\[
\begin{aligned}
P(A \cup D) & =P(A)+P(D)-P(A \cap D) \\
& =\frac{6}{10}+\frac{5}{10}-\frac{2}{10}=\frac{9}{10}

Solution Steps
To solve the given probability problems using the additive rule, we need to calculate the union of two events. The formula for the union of two events \( A \) and \( B \) is given by \( P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \). We will apply this formula to the provided probabilities to find the solutions.
Step 1: Calculate \( P(A \cup D) \)
Using the additive rule for probabilities, we have:
\[
P(A \cup D) = P(A) + P(D) - P(A \cap D)
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
P(A \cup D) = \frac{6}{10} + \frac{5}{10} - \frac{2}{10} = \frac{9}{10} = 0.9
\]
Step 2: Calculate \( P(B \cup C) \)
Similarly, we apply the additive rule for the events \( B \) and \( C \):
\[
P(B \cup C) = P(B) + P(C) - P(B \cap C)
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
P(B \cup C) = \frac{4}{10} + \frac{5}{10} - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{8}{10} = 0.8
\]
Final Answer
The results are:
\[
P(A \cup D) = 0.9 \quad \text{and} \quad P(B \cup C) = 0.8
\]
Thus, the final answers are:
\[
\boxed{P(A \cup D) = 0.9} \quad \text{and} \quad \boxed{P(B \cup C) = 0.8}
\]
