Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The given statement is:

What does it mean for two or more events to be mutually exclusive.

02

Step 2. Define what is mean for two or more events to be mutually exclusive 

Mutually exclusive events can be defined as those non-empty events which are defined on the same sample space, with no common elements between them.

Consider the below-given diagram:

The intersection of events that are mutually exclusive is zero. Because they don't share a common territory with each other.

A = event exactly two heads are tossed,

B = event the first two tosses are tails,

C = event the first toss is heads,

D = event all four tosses come up the same.
