STA 112 Quantifying Uncertainty Objective Question

Take CBT

When are two events, E and F, considered Mutually Exclusive (Disjoint)?

A When the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of the other.

B When their union covers the entire sample space.

C When they cannot occur together, meaning their intersection is empty (EF = Ø).

Correct Answer

D When the probability of E is equal to the probability of F.

Option C is the correct answer.

Slide 6 states: 'Definition (Mutually Exclusive (Disjoint)) E and F cannot occur together. Their intersection is empty: EF = Ø.'

Think about events that cannot simultaneously happen.
