two events can be both mutually exclusive and independent at the same time. true or false true false?
It is possible for two mutually exclusive events to be independent. The Multiplication Rule states that for any two events, P (E intersect F)(E ∩ F) = P(E|F) * P(F). Two events, E and F, are independent if P (E|F) = P(F|E) = P (F|E).
