The events A and B represent mutually exclusive outcomes, as the FDA can either approve or reject the new drug but cannot do both. Additionally, the events A and B are not independent, as the outcome of one event affects the likelihood of the other event occurring (if the drug is rejected, it is impossible for it to be approved). The events are not conditional, as there are no given conditions upon which they depend. Finally, the events are not unilateral, as they are not limited to a single party or perspective.
