Question: two events can be both mutually exclusive and independent at the same time. true or false true false?
Answer: 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).
