Let’s Discuss!
Mutually Exclusive and Non-Mutually Exclusive Events
FORMULA:
MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE EVENTS
𝐏(𝐀 ∪ 𝐁) = 𝐏(𝐀) + 𝐏(𝐁)
MODELLING (I DO)
Examples
Find the probability of mutually exclusive and non-mutually exclusive events
Example 1:
A certain organization held a blood donation program. Fifty employees gave blood with the
following types.
Blood Type O A B AB
No. of Donors 26 16 6 2
What is the probability that the blood type of a randomly selected donor is either type A or type
B?
Solution
Step 1: Determine whether the two events are mutually exclusive.
A person may only have one blood type. Thus, it is impossible for a person’s blood
type to be A and B at the same time. This means that the two events are mutually
exclusive.
Note that there are 50 employees who donated blood, and there are 16
employees with blood type A. Thus, the probability of selecting a person with
blood type A is
16
𝑃(blood type A) =
50
On the other hand, there are 6 employees with blood type B. Thus, the
probability of selecting a person with blood type B is
6
𝑃(blood type B) =
50
Since the two events are mutually exclusive, we will use the following formula.
The two events are “it will rain” and “it will not rain.” It is impossible for these
two events to happen at the same time. Thus, the two events are mutually
exclusive.
Since the two events are mutually exclusive, we have the following equation.
We are sure that either one of the two events will occur—either it will rain today
or it will not. Thus, the event “it will rain today, or it will not rain today” is 1. By
substitution, we get
Example 3:
A survey in a community finds that 55% of people are married. They ask the same group of
people, and 69% have at least one child. If 34% of the married couples in the community have
at least one child, what is the probability that a randomly selected person in the survey is married
or has a child?
Solution
There are two probabilities of events in the problem.
Let 𝐴 be the probability of an event that the people are married; that is, 𝐴 = 0.55.
Let 𝐵 be the probability of an event that the people have at least one child; that is, 𝐵 = 0.69.
It is also stated that 34% of married people have at least one child; that is, 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) = 0.34.
Apply the formula for 𝑃(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) in determining the probability that a random person in the survey
is married or has a child.
Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected person in the survey is married or has a child
is 0.9.
Example 4:
A certain social media personality has a subscriber count of 100. Their ages are tabulated below.
A random subscriber will be selected for a giveaway. What is the probability that the subscriber
selected is 20 to 39 years old?
Subscriber Age 10–19 20–29 30–39 40–49
No. of Subscribers 21 64 12 3
Solution
Step 1: Determine whether the two events are mutually exclusive.
A person may only have one age. Thus, it is impossible for a person to be at two
or more age at the same time. This means that the two events are mutually
exclusive.
Note that there are 100 subscribers and there are 64 people from 20 − 29 years
old
64
𝑃(20 − 29) =
100
On the other hand, there are 12 people with ages 30-39. Thus,
12
𝑃(30 − 39) =
100
Since the two events are mutually exclusive, we will use the following formula.
Let 𝐴 be the probability of selecting someone with blood type A and 𝐵 be the
probability of selecting someone with blood type .B. Thus, we have the following
equation.

2. In a survey of 20 students in a music class, it was found that 5 students play the piano,
9 play the guitar, and no student plays both the piano and the guitar. If a student is
picked randomly from the class, what is the probability that a student plays either the
piano or the guitar?

GENERALIZATION
Mutually Exclusive Events
- are called disjoint events
- two events if they cannot occur at the same time or simultaneously.
- sets that have no common elements. That is, they never intersect.
FORMULA:
MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE EVENTS
𝐏(𝐀 ∪ 𝐁) = 𝐏(𝐀) + 𝐏(𝐁)
EVALUATION
Directions: Use the Venn Diagram to determine the following sets below.
1. In a class in which all students are members of at least one sports club, 70% of students
play soccer or basketball, and 15% practice both sports. If there are also 60% who do not
play soccer, calculate the probability that a student chosen at random from the class plays
a. soccer only.
b. basketball only.
c. both sports.
d. only one sport.
e. neither of the sports.
BASKETBALL SOCCER

Answers:
a. soccer only
= 10%
b. basketball only
= 45%
c. both sports
= 15%
d. only one sport
= 10% + 45%
= 55%
e. neither of the sports
= 30%
