What is “mutual exclusivity”?

625 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.

Mutual exclusivity refers to two things that cannot be possible at the same time. If A and B are mutually exclusive, then there’s something inherent in their relationship that makes both existing at the same time impossible.
