Events that are _____ cannot occur at the same time. Which choice is correct : independent, disjoint, unusual, double-counted

The correct choice is **disjoint**.

Events that are **disjoint** (also known as **mutually exclusive**) cannot occur at the same time. If one event occurs, the other cannot.

### Additional Questions:
1. What are some examples of disjoint events in real life?
2. Can two independent events ever be disjoint?
3. How do you calculate the probability of two disjoint events?
4. What is the difference between disjoint and independent events?
5. Can disjoint events be dependent on each other?

**Tip:** Disjoint events have a probability of zero of happening together, while independent events have no influence on each other's occurrence.

Events that are _____ cannot occur at the same time. Which choice is correct: independent, disjoint, unusual, double-counted?

Understand why disjoint events, also known as mutually exclusive events, cannot occur at the same time. This probability problem explains key concepts with examples, including the Disjoint Events Theorem. Suitable for students in Grades 9-12.
