Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mutually exclusive events are events that cannot occur at the same time, meaning they do not share any common outcomes. Collectively exhaustive events are events that cover all possible outcomes in a sample space. Therefore, mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive events contain all outcomes in a sample space and do not share common outcomes.
