What is “mutual exclusivity”?

641 viewsOther

It’s one of those phrases I just kinda nod my head and go “yeah” when I hear it. I’ve looked it up before, but the definition never stuck. Same thing happened with “survivorship bias,” but I eventually figured that one out.

I guess I need it explained in a different way for it to stick.

Those conditions are exclusive – you either have cake or you ate it, can’t have both! They’re mutually exclusive
