Mutually exclusive events are occurrences where, say, a couple of propositions are possible, but if one occurs, the other cannot. A coin toss might be a good example. A coin lands heads or it lands tails. It cannot land on both in the same toss. A coin toss, therefore, can be said to be a mutually exclusive event.

What is the definition of mutually exclusive events?
The definition of mutually exclusive events is that the events can't occur at the same time. For example, you can't flip a coin and get a head and a tail; they are mutually exclusive events.
If two events are mutually exclusive then they must be dependent?
No, if two events are mutually exclusive, they cannot both occur. If one occurs, it means the second can not occur.
What is True about mutually exclusive events?
At most one of the events can occur.
Are complementary events also mutually exclusive events?
Yes, they are. Mutually exclusive events cannot occur together. Complementary events cannot occur together either because an event and its complement are the negative of each other.
In maths What is Mutually exclusive probability?
Mutually exclusive means they are independent of one another. So, the two events are independent of one another.
