Question

Two independent events are always mutually exclusive, If this is true enter 1, else enter 0.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Two events A and B are said to be independent if the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of the probability of the occurrence of the other.
Thus if A and B are two independent events, the $P(A\cup B)=P\left(A\right).P\left(B\right)$
But two events are mutually exclusive events if the occurrence of one vent precludes the occurrence of the other event.
