ELI5 what mutually exclusive means?

Mutually exclusive is the condition where two things can not both be possible because of the other.  Imagine flipping a coin.  The coin landing heads and the coin landing tails would be mutually exclusive because it's impossible for both outcomes to happen.  The coin must land on one side or the other.
