No. Consider the outcome of rolling a pair of dice, one of which is red and the other blue. The outcomes "the red die comes up six" and "the blue dies comes up six" are completely independent of each other, as one die has no effect on the other; yet they are not mutually disjoint, as it is possible for both dies to come up six at the same time.

if A and B are disjoint, then if A has happened the B cannot occur or vice versa, so that A and B are not independent (since there is some relation between A and B as shown above).

independent events are which need not occur one after the other, and disjoined events r which have no common element. so it is not necessary that all independent events are disjoined. consider this. events A AND B
A: getting a king in deck of shuffeled carrds
B: getting a red card.
they are independent as they do not depend on each other , but they are not disjoined as u may get a red king card as well.
