P(A U B) is the probability of rolling an even number and a prime number.
so
A U B = An occurrence of either an even number and/or (inclusive or) a prime number
with one dice it is either: 2, 4, 6, 1, 3, 5 (these are all possibilities)
n(A U B) is the number of times this event has happened

A couple of points:
1) by "rolling" are you referring to a six-sided die?
2) by "P(A U(upside down) B)" to you mean P(Aâ©B) - ie P(A intersection B)?
If so, with the sample set S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, with cardinality |S| = 6
A = {2, 4, 6}
B = {2, 3, 5}
So
Aâ©B = {2} and |Aâ©B| = 1
Hence P(Aâ©B) = |Aâ©B| / |S|
= 1/6
If by "rolling" you mean something else, then you need to state the sample space in order to determine the solution.
