Mutually exclusive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In logic, two mutually exclusive (or "mutual exclusive" according to some sources) propositions are propositions that logically cannot both be true. To say that more than two propositions are mutually exclusive may, depending on context mean that no two of them can both be true, or only that they cannot all be true. A student passing a test and failing it are mutually exclusive (though someone can fail a test, retake it, and then pass- or have the grade scaled). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mutually_exclusive   (280 words)

Mutually exclusive   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Mutually exclusive is a term used in probability and statistics. These two events are mutually exclusive since, on one roll of the dice it is impossible for us both to win. These events are mutually exclusive since there are no events coloured both red and green. mathcentral.uregina.ca /QQ/database/QQ.09.00/marje1.html   (270 words)

Mutually Exclusive Events Two events that have NO outcomes in common are called mutually exclusive. For any two mutually exclusive events, the probability that an outcome will be in one event or the other event is the sum of their individual probabilities. The sum of the numbers cannot be 7 and 11 at the same time, so these events are mutually exclusive. regentsprep.org /Regents/math/mutual/Lmutual.htm   (361 words)

Mutually Exclusive events   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) But with the first die, if 1 falls uppermost, clearly It rules out the possibility of 6 being uppermost, so the two Outcomes, 1 and 6, are mutually exclusive, One result directly affects the other. In this case, the probability of throwing 1 or 6 with the first die is the sum of the two probabilities, 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/3. When two events are mutually exclusive,(they can't happen at the same time) the probability of one or the other happening is the sum of the probabilities of each event. www-stat.stanford.edu /~susan/courses/s60/split/node69.html   (128 words)

mutually exclusive and exclusive If two events are mutually exclusive, then it is impossible for both to happen-- the occurence of one necessarily excludes any chance that the other occurs. A and B are mutually exclusive events, since if I sleep until 5pm I can't go to work that day, and likewise if I go to work then I must have been awake before 5pm. A and C are not mutually exclusive, since going to work does not exclude the possibility that someone places a call to my home phone, and vice versa. www.physicsforums.com /showthread.php?t=6058   (568 words)

Probability Theory - Independant or mutually exclusive events   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) It is not uncommon for people to confuse the concepts of mutually exclusive events and independent events. The two events "it rained on Tuesday" and "it did not rain on Tuesday" are mutually exclusive events. However, If the events were it rained today" and "I left my umbrella at home" they are not mutually exclusive, but they are probably not independent either, because one would think that you'd be less likely to leave your umbrella at home on days when it rains. probabilitytheory.info /topics/independant_or_mutually_exclusive.htm   (488 words)

Unity and Autocephaly: Mutually Exclusive? The purpose of these relations is not so much mutual accord on local issues, but rather a general consensus on issues concerning the entire Church. Another practical way in which the unity of the Church is maintained is through the mutual recognition of one another's acts, be they sacramental or legal. Consequently, one who is baptized in a local church is at the same time a member of all local churches and of the Church universal. www.goarch.org /en/ourfaith/articles/article8131.asp   (2653 words)

blog.kennypearce.net: Theism, Empiricism Mutually Exclusive? The "empiricist" movement in the history of philosophy occurred primarily (though not exclusively) in 18th century Britain, and was a reaction against the "rationalist" movement of the 17th century, which took place primarily on the continent. Firstly, "empirical" means "based on observation," and that is exactly the primary characteristic of the philosophy of the 18th century empiricists: it is based on experience, i.e. If you are going around claiming that theism and empiricism are mutually exclusive you clearly don't know what you are talking about, and if you are a scientist this knowledge, which you lack, is pertinent to your field! blog.kennypearce.net /archives/000120.html   (990 words)

Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | David Goodhart: Discomfort of strangers (part one) Critics have argued that this idea of national community is anachronistic - swept away by globalisation, individualism and migration - but it still has political resonance. As we grow richer, the ties that used to bind workers together in a risk-pooling welfare state (first locally, later nationally) have loosened - "generosity" is more abstract and compulsory, a matter of enlightened self-interest rather than mutual obligation. Moreover, welfare is less redistributive than most people imagine - most of the tax paid out by citizens comes back to them in one form or another so the amount of the average person's income going to someone they might consider undeserving is small. www.guardian.co.uk /race/story/0,11374,1154684,00.html   (3660 words)

Mutually Exclusive Events Two or more events are called mutually exclusive if the occurrence of any one of them precludes the occurrence of any of the others.

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) The sooner we can establish what is and what is not at stake in these competing "theories," the sooner we can focus on the merits of the arguments rather than the red herring of evolution being necessarily exclusive of a supreme being. This is when evolutionists started to use evolutionary process to establish a climate where the "belief" in a higher power was unnecessary, and required faith as opposed to facts. From there the debate went to Science vs Faith, and so now we have the majority thinking that Creation, ID and Evolution must be mutually exclusive. arstechnica.com /staff/palatine.ars/2005/10/18/1559   (9942 words)
