Key Concepts

Mutually Exclusive Events

This concept refers to events that cannot occur simultaneously in the same trial of an experiment. When one event happens, it completely rules out the possibility of the other event happening at the same time. Determining whether events are mutually exclusive involves checking if there is no intersection between them.

Intersection of Events

The intersection of events is the set of outcomes that are common to all events being considered. In assessing mutual exclusivity, if the intersection of two events is empty (i.e., they share no common outcomes), then the events are mutually exclusive. Otherwise, they are not.
