Exhaustive events: The total number of possible outcomes of a random experiment is known as exhaustive events or cases.
Example,
In tossing of a coin there are two exhaustive cases viz, head and tail.
In tossing a die, there are 6 exhaustive cases since any one of the six faces 1,2,3,......,6 may come uppermost.
Mutually Exhaustive Events: Mutually Exclusive Events: Events that cannot occur at the same time. If one event happens, the other cannot.
Example
Coin Toss: The events "landing heads" and "landing tails" are mutually exclusive because a coin cannot land both heads and tails at the same time.
In both cases, the occurrence of both events is independent of each other.
