REVIEW
• Probability Rules:
1.The probability of an event occurring always has
a value between 0 and 1.
2.The probabilities of all outcomes must always
add up to 1.
 3

OBJECTIVES:
1.Differentiate mutually from non-
mutually exclusive events.
2.Solve the probability of mutually
exclusive events and non-mutually
exclusive events.
3.Apply the concept of mutually
exclusive events to real- world
scenarios.

EVENTS
 DEFINITION OF TERMS 6

MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE EVENTS

- These are events that cannot occur at the same
time.
- There is no intersection between A and B.

NON-MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE EVENTS

- These are events that can happen at the same
time.
- There is intersection between A and B.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE 7

1. In an experiment of randomly
choosing a letter in the English
alphabet, the event A of
choosing a vowel and the event
B of getting a consonant are
mutually exclusive events.
A={ a,e,i,o,u}
B= {b,c,d,f,g,h,k,l,m,n,p,q,r,s,t,v,w,x,y,z}
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE 8

2. Visiting tourist spots in Canlaon.

3. In an experiment of rolling a die
once, the event A of getting and
even number and the event B of
getting an odd number.
A={ 2,4,6}
B= {1,3,5}

PROBABILITY OF MUTUALLY
EXCLUSIVE EVENTS.
Example 1:
A={ a,e,i,o,u}
B= {b,c,d,f,g,h,k,l,m,n,p,q,r,s,t,v,w,x,y,z}
P(A)=, P(B)=
Hence:
P(A

PROBABILITY OF NON-
MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE EVENTS.
Example 1: A card is drawn at random
from deck of 52 playing cards. Find the
probability that the card drawn is king of
hearts.
P(Heart)= , P(King)= , P(King of Heart)=
P(A

PROBABILITY OF NON-
MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE EVENTS.
Example 2: Suppose a single die is rolled. Find
the probability that the number rolled is even
number or greater than 2.
A = even number = { 2,4,6};
B = set of numbers greater than 2={ 3,4,5,6};
A{4,6} =
