It is given that $P$ (not $E$ or not $F$ ) $=0.25$

i.e.,  $P \left( E ^{\prime} \cap F ^{\prime}\right)=0.25$

$\Rightarrow P ( E \cap F )^{\prime} =0.25$              $[ E^{\prime} \cup F^{\prime} =( E \cap F )^{\prime}]$

Now, $P ( E \cap F )=1- P ( E \cap F )^{\prime}$

$\Rightarrow P ( E \cap F )=1-0.25$

$\Rightarrow P ( E \cap F )=0.75 \neq 0$

$\Rightarrow E \cap F \neq \phi$

Thus, $E$ and $F$ are not mutually exclusive.
