Mutually exclusive and exhaustive events
dependent
On any given day, he probability that Murali goes to the coffee shop is 0.70. The probability that Connie goes to the coffee shop is 0.40. If Murali goes to the coffee shop, the probability that Connie goes to the coffee shop is 0.48. The events "Murali goes to the coffee shop" and "Connie goes to the coffee shop" are
