What is Mutually Exclusive?
Mutually exclusive refers to the relationship between two or more events that cannot occur at the same time.
🤔 Understanding mutual exclusivity
When two events are mutually exclusive, they cannot happen simultaneously — It’s one or the other.

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).
