If two events are mutually exclusive, what is the probability that both occur?
0, 0.5, 1.00, can not be determined with the information given

Solution:

The foremost example of mutually exclusive events is the tossing of a fair coin.

On tossing a coin either heads can appear or tails can appear.

Both cannot appear together.

We know that,

P(H) = 1/2

P(T) = 1/2

Since the two cannot occur together we can write :

P (H and T) = 0

Where P(H and T) is the joint probability of H and T appearing together.

The probability of mutually exclusive events occurring together is zero.

If two events are mutually exclusive, what is the probability that both occur?
0, 0.5, 1.00, can not be determined with the information given

Summary:

The probability of mutually exclusive events occurring together is zero.
