Given: A and B are mutually exclusive
P(AB)=0
Explanation:
Using a regular 52 deck of cards, Queens and Kings are mutually exclusive. That is, if you pick one card and it is a queen, then it can not also be a king.
P(KingQueen)=0
So, the probability of picking a king given you picked a queen is zero.
This would apply to any mutually exclusive event.
