Figure 6.1 | The Overlapping Set Diagram for the Linda Problem | The overlap (the green area) of the two sets (all bank tellers and all people active in the feminist movement) indicates the probability of being both a bank teller and active in the feminist movement. Because this area is a subset (part) of each of the two sets, its probability has to be less than that for either of the two sets. This is the conjunction rule.
