Here we explore mutually exclusive events starting with its definition and exploring the concept with an example. The example used is the rolling of a die
2. Mutually Exclusive Events
• Two events A and B are called mutually exclusive events if the occurrence
of any one of them excludes the occurrence of the other event i.e. if they
can not occur simultaneously
3. Mutually Exclusive Events
• Consider the experiment of rolling a die, a sample space is S = {1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6}.
• Let event A be ‘an odd number appears’. Let event B be ‘an even number
appears.
• Clearly event A excludes event B. In other words, the occurrence of A
excludes the occurrence of B and vice-versa.
• A = {1, 3, 5} and B = {2, 4, 6}
