Hi Mr. Benny Auer,

Events that cannot occur at the same time are called 'mutually exclusive'. Examples of mutually exclusive events include a coin toss (we cannot have both heads and tails during the same toss).

Thanks,

events which can't both happen i.e p(AnB)=0 are mutually exclusive

In statistics and probability, two events that cannot occur at the same time is called Mutually Exclusive Events. For example when you toss a coin, the event of getting a head or a tail are mutually exclusive events because it will never happen that you will get head and a tail at the same time. You will only have an outcome of a landing a head or landing a tail but not both.
