When you flip a coin, it’s either going to land with heads or tails facing up — There’s no chance that both sides will be facing up. Other mutually exclusive events work the same way. If two events are mutually exclusive, only one of them can occur.

Think again of a coin toss. The results are mutually exclusive (it will be either heads or tails; it can’t be both on the same flip). And it will be one of the two options — heads and tails are the only possible options (thus they are exhaustive).

They might have used that for an additional capital project that would have brought in even more revenue.
