In statistics and probability theory, two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time. The simplest example of mutually exclusive events is a coin toss. A tossed coin outcome can be either head or tails, but both outcomes cannot occur simultaneously.

What is the formula for mutually exclusive events?

Mutually Exclusive Event Probability

P = Number of ways the event can happen / total number of outcomes. P(A) = 1 / 6. It's impossible to roll a 5 and a 6 together; the events are mutually exclusive. In English, all that means the probability of event A (rolling a 5) and event B (rolling a 6) happening together is 0.

What do you mean by mutually exclusive events?

Mutually exclusive is a statistical term describing two or more events that cannot happen simultaneously. It is commonly used to describe a situation where the occurrence of one outcome supersedes the other.
