How do you solve inclusive events and mutually exclusive events dealing with probability?
----
Exclusive events are events that cannot happen simultaneously.
You cannot have hht and hth when you throw a coin 3 times.
So the probability of hht or hth = (1/8)+(1/8) = 1/4
-------
Inclusive events are events that can happen simultaneouly.
You can simultaneously draw a face card and a club from
a deck of cards.
So P(face or club) = 12/52 + 13/52 - 4/52 = 21/52
