(COMP233) Probability and Statistics - Mutually Exclusive vs Independent

Mutually exclusive 

 -> disjoint, two events cannot occur at same time

 -> NO INTERSECTION

 

Q) Find the probabitliy that all of the events A, B, C occurs if A, B, C are mutually exclusive. 

 

=> Since A, B, C are mutually exclusive, they have no union. The probability that all the events A, B, C occur is 0.

     P( ABC | A,B,C mutually exclusive )

            ->   P(ABC) = 0 

 

 

Independent 

-> One does not affect to the other occurrence.
