Assume you have applied to two different universities (let's refer to them as Universities A and B) for your graduate work. In the past, 10% of students (with similar credentials as yours) who applied to University A were accepted, while University B accepted 50% of the applicants. Assume events are independent of each other. Are the events mutually exclusive?
