To qualify as a probability distribution, the assignment of values must satisfy the requirement that if you look at a collection of mutually exclusive events ( events that contain no common results, e . g ., the events { 1, 6 }, { 3 }, and { 2, 4 } are all mutually exclusive ), the probability that one of the events will occur is given by the sum of the probabilities of the individual events.
