Are events A and B mutually exclusive?

The question is asking whether events A and B can occur at the same time or if they are mutually exclusive, meaning if the occurrence of one event excludes the occurrence of the other.
Answer
Events A and B are mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time.
Events A and B are mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time. This means that P(A AND B) = 0.
Answer for screen readers
