The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to understand the concept of exclusive (or mutually exclusive) events in probability. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Exclusive Events**: - Two events \( E_1 \) and \( E_2 \) are said to be exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time. This means that if one event occurs, the other cannot. 2. **Intersection of Events**: - The intersection of two events \( E_1 \) and \( E_2 \), denoted as \( E_1 \cap E_2 \), represents the scenario where both events occur simultaneously. 3. **Probability of Intersection**: - For exclusive events, since they cannot occur together, the probability of their intersection is defined as: \[ P(E_1 \cap E_2) = 0 \] 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, if \( E_1 \) and \( E_2 \) are exclusive events, we conclude that: \[ P(E_1 \cap E_2) = 0 \] ### Final Answer: \[ P(E_1 \cap E_2) = 0 \]
