Do you add mutually exclusive events?
In probability, the specific addition rule is valid when two events are mutually exclusive. It states that the probability of either event occurring is the sum of probabilities of each event occurring.
Can two mutually exclusive events occur together?
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.
How do you combine mutually exclusive events?
The rule is simple and cleverly named. If Events A and B are mutually exclusive, the probability that either Event A or Event B occurs is the sum of the probabilities of the individual events. What??? We add the probabilities of the two separate events together.
What happens when two things are mutually exclusive?
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. For example, war and peace cannot coexist at the same time.
