What is a disjoint events mean?
In probability theory, disjoint events are two (or more) events where more than one cannot occur in the same trial. It is possible that none of them occur in a particular trial.
Definition of complementary events?
they are events that can't occur at the same time. For example, you toss a coin you get head or tails. These are complementary events since you can't have both at the same time, only one!
Are events and its complement mutually exclusive?
Yes, they cannot happen at the same time. If you flip a coin heads and tails can not come up at the same time.
What are points in the same plane called?
Points that are within the same plane are called co-planer.
Three points lying on the same straight line are called?
Points on the same line are called collinear points.
What are events that cannot both occur in the same trail of an expierement?
Two events that cannot occur at the same time are called mutually exclusive. If two events are mutually exclusive what is the probability that both occur.
What is it called when two events can occur with the same probability?
equiprobable events.
If two events cannot occur at the same time those events are considered to be?
Mutually exclusive.
When two events can occur with the same probability is called?
Equally likely events.
What does mutally exclusive mean?
It means the two events cannot simultaneously occur; for example the two events, being dead and being alive are mutually exclusive, since they cannot occur at the same time.
What is a disjoint events mean?
In probability theory, disjoint events are two (or more) events where more than one cannot occur in the same trial. It is possible that none of them occur in a particular trial.
What is potentially inclusive?
Potentially inclusive events are events that can happen simultaneously. For example, events A and B can occur at the same time. When these events do cannot occur simultaneously, then then are called Mutually exclusive (opposite). Potentially Inclusive: If A is heads of Coin 1 and B is heads of Coin 2, then tossing of both the coins is potentially inclusive since you can get heads on both the coins same time. Mutually exclusive: If A is heads and B is tails , then tossing of a coin is mutually exclusive since you cannot get heads and tails at the same time. You either get heads or tails.
If two events A and B are mutually exclusive then they are independent?
No, independence means they are not related. Mutually exclusive means they cannot occur at the same time.
Sentence with complementary eventos?
A complementary event occurs when two events cannot occur at the same time. The event is ether/or, rather than "and".
What is the difference between simultaneous and parallel events?
Parallel events are similar events. Simultaneous events are events that occur at the same time. Both simultaneous and parallel events occur at different places.
When two events can occur with the same probability?
Equal
When two events can occur with the same probability what is it?
Nothing more significant than equally likely events.
