          Event E = three head show
rightwards double arrow               E = {HHH}
          Event F = three tails show.
rightwards double arrow              F = {TTT}
         straight E intersection straight F space equals space left curly bracket HHH right curly bracket space intersection space left curly bracket TTT right curly bracket space equals space straight ϕ
∴ E and F are mutually exclusive.
