It is not uncommon for people to confuse the concepts of mutually exclusive events and independent events. ... The two events "it rained on Tuesday" and "it did not rain on Tuesday" are mutually exclusive events. When calculating the probabilities for exclusive events you add the probabilities.

If two events are independent then they cannot be mutually exclusive (disjoint) and vice versa. ... Two events are mutually exclusive (or disjoint) if it is impossible for them to occur together. ... If two events are mutually exclusive, they cannot be independent and vice versa.

Two events are independent if the following are true: ... Probability Topics: Independent & Mutually Exclusive Events (modified R. Bloom) ... Summary: This module explains the concept of independent events, where the probability of event A does not have any effect on the probability of event B, and mutually exclusive events,

If something is not known to be false, assume that it is true; ... (2) The chance that something happens is 100%. (3) If two events cannot both occur at the same time (if they are disjoint or mutually exclusive), the chance that either one occurs is the sum of the chances that each occurs. ... Suppose there are n independent trials,

R- ch/ch3-25:  True or false: Two independent events are also mutually exclusive. R- ch/ch3-26:  For events A and B, if it is not declared that they are independent or mutually exclusive, we always assume that they are ____ until it can be shown otherwise.

Chapter 14: Probability True/Fals ... To compute the probability of the joint occurrence of two independent events, you multiply their separate probabilities together. ... The probability of a complex event that consists of nonexclusive alternatives can be computed by changing it into a set of mutually exclusive alternatives,

A mutually exclusive relationship between two events is based only on the outcomes that comprise the events, and an independence relationship depends only on the probability model used for a random experiment. Therefore, if two events are independent, they are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
