Expert Solution
Step 1

When an experiment is performed then the subset of sample space or possible outcomes of the experiment is called an event. For example if two coins are tosses then getting two heads will be an event of the experiment.

Two events are called mutually exclusive if both the events cannot occur together. There are no common outcomes between two mutually exclusive events. For example, if a dice is rolled then an event of getting an event number will be mutually exclusive to event of getting odd number.
