Wait, what if A and B are like cats and dogs? They're always at each other's throats, so they must be mutually exclusive! *laughs*

Hold on, I've got this. The fact that P(A&B) = 0.10 means they are not mutually exclusive. The answer has to be B, no.

No way, A and B can't be mutually exclusive if their individual probabilities add up to more than 1. This must be a trick question!

That's right, A and B are not mutually exclusive since their probabilities overlap.

I think A and B are mutually exclusive since the probability of their intersection is only 0.10.

I agree, the probability of their intersection being 0.10 suggests they are mutually exclusive.

But the probability of A and B both occurring is not zero, so they are not mutually exclusive.
