    Events A and B are mutually exclusive if they cannot both occur simultaneously, which is illustrated on a Venn diagram as the sets having no intersection. Events are mutually exhaustive if either A or B must occur, or both, with the probability of neither being zero. Independent events cannot influence each other, and the probability of A occurring does not depend on whether B occurs or not.

    A Level Maths Notes: S1 Mutually Exclusive, Independent and Exhaustive Events Illustrated on Venn Diagrams

    Mutually exclusive events are events that cannot both happen at the same time: You either like bovril or hate it. You either do what we say or you die! (George Bush's sentiment). We can illustrate mutually exclusive events A and B on a Venn diagram. The sets A and B have no intersection so are mutually exclusive. We may also write the probability of both A and B happening is zero.

    Mutually exhaustive events A and B 'cover all the possibilities'. Either A or B must happen, or both of them. The probability of neither A or B happening is zero. We may write or these are just alternative notations. Events A and B may be both mutually exclusive and mutually exhaustive, in which case

    If two events A and B are independent, then neither can influence the other, and we can write
