What is the main difference between conditional probability and mutually exclusive events?
Answer - Conditional Probability for Mutually Exclusive Events
Conditional Probability for Mutually Exclusive EventsThe simplest example of mutually exclusive are events that cannot occur simultaneously. In other words, if one event has already occurred, another can event cannot occur. Thus, the conditional probability of mutually exclusive events is always zero.

If x and y are mutually exclusive then they cannot both occur, so p(x&y) must be zero. Now substitute A,B for x,y (or y,x) and previous conclusion is reached. Conditional probability is a number. Be exclusive is property of event pair.
