Can two independent events be disjoint? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Sep 22, 2020 · The statements “disjoint events with positive probability are not independent” and “independent events with positive probability are not disjoint” are equivalent statements. You have …
Probability: Are disjoint events independent? [duplicate]
Jun 20, 2016 · Two events are disjoint, or exclusive, if their intersection is an empty set, which in turn infers it to have zero probability. The intersection of disjoint events is impossible.
What's the difference between MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE and PAIRWISE …
Mar 7, 2018 · Two events are mutually exclusive if the probability of them both occurring is zero, that is if $\operatorname {Pr} (A \cap B) = 0$. With that definition, disjoint sets are necessarily mutually …
What does pairwise disjoint mean? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Mar 9, 2019 · Typically, pairwise disjoint means that no two sets in the collection have a member in common. The answer to your first question is no, in fact each pair of distinct subsets has a common …
Comparing definitions of mutually exclusive: disjoint events or zero ...
Apr 28, 2020 · It is not clear to me what is/should be the standard definition of "mutually exclusive" in probability, as there seem to be two definitions in the literature. In the top response in this thread,
terminology - Why are two disjoint events defined to be independent if ...
Feb 7, 2023 · The same applies in this case. So if you have two disjoint events where at least one has probability $0$, then they are independent. It's a degenerate still a degenerate example, so what you …

Jul 4, 2015 · Let $A$ and $B$ two disjoint events such that $P(A)=0.3$ and $P(B)=0.5$. Find the probability that i)$A$ or $B$ ocurrs ii)$A$ occur but not $B$ iii)repeat $i)$ and ...
How can you visualize Independence with Venn Diagrams?
Dec 30, 2021 · Most people think drawing Venn Diagrams that are disjoint demonstrates independence, but that is false. If two events are disjoint, they are inherently dependent.
pairwise disjoint events example - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Aug 1, 2013 · Note that "a pairwise disjoint event" is an odd concept. Rather, one should find "pairwise disjoint events".
