If P(A) = 0.20,P(B) = 0.30,and P(A and B) = 0,then A and B are:
A) dependent events
B) independent events
C) mutually exclusive events
D) complementary events
Mutually Exclusive
Describes two events that cannot occur at the same time. The occurrence of one event means the other cannot occur.
Independent Events
Two or more events where the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the other events occurring.
Dependent Events
Events whose occurrence or outcome is influenced by another event happening.
- Develop an understanding of and specify the concept of mutually exclusive events in probability theory.
- Determine the relationship between the probability of events and their independence or exclusivity.
