Answer:
Mutually Exclusive Events
Two events are said to be mutually exclusive events when both cannot occur at the same time. Mutually exclusive events always have a different outcome. Such events are so that when one happens it prevents the second from happening. For example, if the coin toss gives you a “Head” it won’t give you a “Tail”. These are mutually exclusive events.
Mutually Exclusive Events
Now you might say that any two events are mutually exclusive then! Not exactly. Consider two coins that we toss at the same time. The occurrence of either a Head or a Tail on one of these doesn’t affect the probability of the occurrence of H or T of the other coin.

There are other kinds of events also. For example, consider a coin that has a Head on both sides or a Tail on both sides. No matter how many times you flip it, it will always be Head (for the first coin) and Tail (for the second coin). So how will the sample space of such an experiment look? It will be either { H } for the first coin and { T } for the second one. Such events have only one point in the sample space and are known as the “Simple Events”. Two simple events are always mutually exclusive.......
