Mutually Exclusive Events - events that have no outcomes in


common. This means that if two or more events are mutually
exclusive, they cannot occur at the same time.
Not Mutually Exclusive Events - events that have outcomes
in common, meaning they can occur simultaneously.

Independent and
Dependent Events

Determine whether the outcome of the first event affects the


outcome of the second event.

1. studying hard → getting high grades


2. eating a lot → gaining weight
3. attending a singing lesson → it’s raining today
4. tossing a coin → rolling a fair die and getting a 6

INDEPENDENT EVENT

the occurrence of one gives no information


about whether or not the other event will
occur; the events have no influence on each
other.
example: tossing a coin → rolling a fair die and
getting a 6

INDEPENDENT EVENTS
Formulas

IE If two events, A and B, are independent, then the probability


of both events occurring is the product of the probability of A
and the probability of B.

DEPENDENT EVENTS
Formulas

DE If two events, A and B, are dependent, then the probability of
