If two events are mutually exclusive, their intersection is empty. This means that there are no outcomes that are common to both events. In probability terms, if X and Y are mutually exclusive events, then:

Pr(X ∩ Y) = 0

The question says that events X and Y are mutually exclusive, meaning those two events CANNOT HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME. Definitely, P(X∩Y) = 0
The same way you can’t close your eyes and see an object at the same time.

Here is an explanation:

AS ITS CLEARLY STATED

P(X) = 1/3.......p in this Eqtn is 1 while X is 3

P(Y) = 2/5.......p in this Eqtn is 2 while X is 5



therefore its gunno be 1x2 = 2 and 3x5 =15

2/15
