What is the p(A and B) if event A and event B are mutually exclusive?

I believe they are asking for a numerical value and I think the answer s 0, but I am not sure

What is the definition of "mutually exclusive"? ;)

I know it means that there are 2 separate events that do not effect each other or overlap. Basically like if you were to roll a dice for example, it cannot be two numbers at a time.

So if A and B never overlap, then what must be the probability of "A and B"? ;)

"Do not overlap" in the sense of "cannot both happen" but that is not "do not affect each other". "Do not affect each other" is "independent events" and "mutually exclusive" events cannot be "independent" events.
