if events a and b are mutually exclusive then p(a∩b) is always equal to zero?

If Events A and B are mutually exclusive, P(A ∩ B) = 0. The probability that Events A or B occur is the probability of the union of A and B. The probability of the union of Events A and B is denoted by P(A ∪ B) .

When two events, A and B, are mutually exclusive, it means that they cannot both occur at the same time. This would mean that the joint probability of A and B, as well as the conditional probabilities for A and B, are equal to 0.

An outcome is in the event A OR B if the outcome is in A, is in B, or is in both A and B. Two events are mutually exclusive if the probability that they both happen at the same time is zero. If events A and B are mutually exclusive, then P(A AND B) = 0.

If two events are mutually exclusive, the probability that BOTH happen is zero.

A and B are mutually exclusive events if they cannot occur at the same time. This means that A and B do not share any outcomes and P(A AND B) Therefore, A and C are mutually exclusive. ...

By definition, Mutually Exclusive events cannot occur simultaneously, therefore the probability that they occur at the same time is 0. Zero.

Mutually Exclusive Events. A and B are mutually exclusive events if they cannot occur at the same time. This means that A and B do not share any outcomes and P(A AND B) ... Therefore, A and B are not mutually exclusive.

Two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time. Another word that means mutually exclusive is disjoint. If two events are disjoint, then the probability of them both occurring at the same time is 0.

A and B are mutually exclusive events if they cannot occur at the same time. ... Therefore, A and C are mutually exclusive.

If A and B are independent events, then the events A and B' are also independent. Proof: The events A and B are independent, so, P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B).

A and B are independent if and only if P(A∩B)=P(A)P(B). In general, one cannot say whether two events are independent or not without knowing the actual probability distribution (though there are some exceptions).

Two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time (i.e., they have no outcomes in common). In the Venn Diagram above, the probabilities of events A and B are represented by two disjoint sets (i.e., they have no elements in common).

P(A and B) = 0. Therefore, we see that a mutually exclusive pair of nontrivial events are also necessarily dependent events. This makes sense because if A and B are mutually exclusive, then if A occurs, then B cannot also occur; and vice versa.

Mutually Exclusive Events If two events are disjoint, then the probability of them both occurring at the same time is 0. If two events are mutually exclusive, then the probability of either occurring is the sum of the probabilities of each occurring.
1134145
If A and B are independent events, then the events A and B' are also independent. ... From the Venn diagram, we see that the events A ∩ B and A ∩ B' are mutually exclusive and together they form the event A. A = ( A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ B'). Also, P(A) = P[(A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ B')].

If the outcome of event A is not affected by event B, then events A and B are said to be a) mutually exclusive. ... If event A and event B cannot occur at the same time, then events A and B are said to be a) mutually exclusive. b) independent. c) collectively exhaustive.

Recap: If two events are mutually exclusive, they cannot both occur in the same trial: the probability of their intersection is zero. The probability of their union is the sum of their probabilities.
