mutex is locking mechanism while semaphore is signaling mechanism.
mutex controls access to resources - ownership
semaphore controls signaling of available resources - signaling mechanism to tell other process the resource required is ready or available.

the toilet: only one toilet and one key to toilet, only one person could use that toilet with that only key. Other people must wait for the release of the resource: toilet key to use that toilet.

So the code to control that only one person with the key at a time to use that toilet - mutex - controls ownership
the code to inform other process whether the toilet is free or occupied - binary semaphore - controls the signaling of ownership status
