Mutually exclusive events cannot occur at the same time, such as turning left and turning right. In contrast, independent events can occur simultaneously without affecting one another, like rolling a six on two separate dice. The occurrence of one event does not influence the outcome of the other in independent events.

1. Explain the difference between mutually exclusive and independent events.
Solution
Mutually exclusive events are those events, in which if one of event occurs, we can firmly say
that other events didnt occur. for example two events, 1. I turn left 2. I turn right. Since both
events can never happen together. these two events are mutually exclusive events.
Getting a head and getting a tail in a single toss of a coin are mutally exclusive events.
Independent events are those events, in which happening of one event is independent of other
events. for example, in throwing of two dices, getting number 6 on first dice and getting 6 on
other dice are independent events.
