The
term is mutually exclusive to be mixed with the term independent. The term
mutually exclusive is then related to the occurrence of another event. if two
events A and B are independent, P (A) is the prior probability, P (A|B) is the
conditional probability of A given B. P( B|A ) is the conditional probability
of B given A. it is also called the likelihood of the event.

Suppose
that we throw two unbiased dice independently. Let

Question

The conditions
of the question show that a jar contains w white balls, b black balls and r red
balls. In order to find the probability of a white ball being drawn before a
black ball if each ball is replaced after being drawn following system of
equation will be used,

Let X be a
random variable with probability mass function
for x = 1, 2, 3, . . .. by using only the
definition of the expected value we can evaluate the expected value of X.
Consider that X is a binomial random variable with different parameters n and
p. X represent the number of successive trials and it can be written as
Consider two
situations, when
it shows that the trial is a success while on
the other hand if
then trail is a failure. Inserting the values
of x = 1, 2, 3,
. . . .
. in the equation gives,
