Think about it...

Can you flip both heads and tails and the same time on the same coin?

Can you roll one die and get an even number and a prime number on the same roll?

Can Batman and Bruce Wayne be seen in the same room at the same time?

Can Batman and Catwoman be seen in the same room at the same time?

Two events are considered mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time.
