In the field of probability, mutually exclusive events are those that cannot transpire at the same time. If event A takes place, it's impossible for event B to happen, and the same holds true in reverse. The probability of either of these events taking place is calculated by adding their individual probabilities. This is indicated as P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) in the realm of probability theory.
