The discussion focuses on proving the mutual independence of events A and (B intersection C). It clarifies that A and (B intersection C) represent two distinct events, while A union (B intersection C) describes a single event. The concept of independence applies only when comparing two or more events, making the first statement relevant for analysis. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for correctly interpreting the question posed.

madness26 said:how do i prove that A and (B intersection C) are mutually independent?
first of all how do i even read that question, is it read: A union (B intersection C) ??
describes two events.A and (B intersection C)
describes one event.A union (B intersection C)
