Mutually exclusive events

Abstract

Background:
Why should and how could the occurrence of an event At at a certain (period of) time / Bernoulli trial
t exclude the occurrence of another event Bt at the same (period of) time / Bernoulli trial t and vice
versa? Can this be described somehow mathematically?
Methods:
Basic methods of classical logic, probability theory and statistics were used to analyse the interior logic of an exclusion relationship.
Results:
Mutually exclusive events are mathematized, the relationship to the relative risk and the odds’ ratio is worked out.
Conclusion:
Mathematically, it is possible to recognize mutually exclusive events.
