Expert Solution
Step 1

Two events can be said mutually exclusive, if they cannot happen at the same time. It is mentioned that events A and B are mutually exclusive, it means they both cannot happen at the same time. This implies, PAB=0.

If happening/not happening of one event does not affect the happening/not happening of other event, then such events can be termed as independent events. If A and B are two independent events, then PAB=PA·PB.
