two events are mutually exclusive if . a. the probability of their intersection is .5 b. the probability of their intersection is 1 and they have no sample points in common c. the probability of their intersection is 1 d. they have no sample points in common

Respuesta :

Two events are mutually exclusive if the probability of their intersection is 0 and they have no sample points in common. Hence, option D is the correct answer.

The two events are called mutually exclusive when they have no sample points in common. Thus, the probability of event A and event B happening is zero. this means that their intersection set is the empty set.

let us take an example-

Let A be a set of odd numbers and B be a set of even numbers.

A = {1,3,5,7,9}

B = {0,2,4,6,8}

A ∩ B = { }

Hence, the two sets - A and B are mutually exclusive of each other.
