Description: Disjoint events are events that can’t happen at the same time. This video explains their significance in probability theory through the use of examples.

George Boole, the namesake of Boolean algebra, contributed a lot to probability theory. Boolean algebra, which involves variables that take on one of two values (usually represented as 0 and 1), is fundamental to digital circuits and computing. In probability theory, a Boolean variable represents a single trial that either succeeds (1) or fails (0).

Events that can’t happen at the same time. The intersection of disjoint events is an empty set.
