D) 	Mutually exclusive probability

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conditional probability is used to calculate the probability of one event occurring, given that another event has already occurred or is expected to occur. This type of probability is dependent on other events and their likelihoods. Empirical probability is based on actual observations or data, joint probability is used for calculating the probability of multiple events occurring together, and mutually exclusive probability refers to events that cannot occur at the same time.
