Episode 5 — Probability

Mutually Exclusive Events

Learners will be able to:

• Identify mutually exclusive events in everyday situations. • Explain why the probability of A intersection B is zero when A and B are mutually exclusive events. • Describe the relationship between the probability of A union B and the probabilities of A and B when they are mutually exclusive events. • Calculate the probability of A union B given the probabilities of A and B. • Apply the concept of mutually exclusive events to real-life scenarios.
