The answer is below.

Work Step by Step

With mutually exclusive events, the events cannot both happen. For example, drawing a red card and drawing a spade from a standard deck cannot happen in the same draw, so these events are mutually exclusive. Contrarily, two overlapping events can both happen. For example, I could draw a card that is black and a card that is a queen in the same draw, so these events are overlapping.
