Lesson: Mutually Exclusive Events Mathematics • Second Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to identify mutually exclusive events and find their probabilities.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

understand what mutually exclusive events are and determine if two or more events are mutually exclusive,
know that the probability of two mutually exclusive events occurring at the same time is zero and therefore know subsequent probability rules involving mutually exclusive events:
- ,
- ,
- ,
use facts about mutually exclusive events to solve probability problems.
