In probability theory, two events are said to be mutually exclusive or disjoint events if and only if they can not occur at the same time. For example, while tossing a coin head and tail can not occur at the same time. To understand the independence of events you can check my previous article. In short, Event A and B are independent if and only if P(A ∩ B) = P(A) x P(B). To be independent…
