It is certain that the selected adult has type B blood or does not have type B blood.

The upper bar over B means not B, so the given rule is: P (B or not B) = 1.

The sentence is:

The probability of having type B blood or not having this type of blood is 1, because the two events, having B blood and not having B blood, are complementary, meaning that they constitute the whole universe.
