Hello, I saw several similar posts today, and I suppose that they all came from one person.
In all these posts, you insistently/systematically use the combination of words "a non-mutually exclusive event".
This combination of words is ERRONEOUS and INCORRECT.
When people talk about mutually exclusive events, they ALWAYS use PLURAL to denote two or more events.
One single event CAN NOT be a mutually exclusive: only a pair of events, meaning two events,
or even more than two events should be considered to apply this term to them, but not one single event.
So, PLEASE never say it again "a non-mutually exclusive event".
When you say it this way, you demonstrate FROM THE VERY BEGINNING that you do not know terminology
and do not understand the subject you are talking about.
See this authoritative source - Wikipedia article on "mutually exclusive events"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_exclusivity
When you come with correct terminology, then a discussion and explanations will be possible.

In more simple terms, if after my explanations I see similar post with the same deficiency, I will simply delete it.
