Describe the termmutually exclusive.Provide some examples. Must the values ofxin a discrete probability distribution always be mutually exclusive? Why or why not? Provide an example.

Mutually exclusive means two or more outcomes cannot occur at the same time and is one of the three characteristics must-haves of a probability distribution (Lind, Marchal, Wathen, 2018). Yes, the values of x in a discrete probability distribution will always be mutually exclusive. Playing roulette has several mutually exclusive events. A bet can be placed on red and/or black, but the roulette ball can only land in red or black, not both. A bet can also be placed on even and/or odd, but the ball can only land on an even number or odd number, not both.
