alleryMutually exclusive events A and B:
AA = B
BP(A)P(B)
CIndependent
DP(A ∩ B) = 0; P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. P(A ∩ B) = 0; P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B)
**Mutually exclusive:** cannot occur together.
P(A ∩ B) = 0. P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B).
NOT same as independent (mutually exclusive non-zero events are dependent).
