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.

How do you find the probability of disjoint events?

Multiply the possible outcomes of the events in the disjoint events


Its simple what are disjoint events?

Two events are disjoint if they cannot occur together. In set terms, their intersection is a null set.


Can independent events be disjoint?

No.


Are two disjoint events always complementary?

no


Two disjoint events in which one or the other must occur are called?

Complements or complementary events

What does it mean when something is disjoint or overlapping in math?

Two sets are disjoint if there are elements that belong to both. Two sets are overlapping if there is at least one elements that belongs to both.


Event A has probability 0.4 event B has probability 0.5 If A and B are disjoint then the probability that both events occur is?

If two events are disjoint, they cannot occur at the same time. For example, if you flip a coin, you cannot get heads AND tails. Since A and B are disjoint, P(A and B) = 0 If A and B were independent, then P(A and B) = 0.4*0.5=0.2. For example, the chances you throw a dice and it lands on 1 AND the chances you flip a coin and it land on heads. These events are independent...the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other.


If A and B are disjoint and B and C are disjoint are A and C disjoint?

Not necessarily. For a counterexample, A and C could be the same set.


What is joint and disjoint?

Two sets are said to be "disjoint" if they have no common element - their intersection is the empty set. As far as I know, "joint" is NOT used in the sense of the opposite of disjoint, i.e., "not disjoint".
