Problem

This is a new version of the question. Make sure you start new workings. Lola rolls a fair six-sided dice. For each pair of events below, decide whether the events are mutually exclusive. If the events are not mutually exclusive, give an example to show why. Pair A: Rolling an even number Rolling a number smaller than 3 Pair B: Rolling an even number Rolling an odd number < Back to task Watch video Answer $>$ Type here to search

Solution

Step 1 :Determine if there is any overlap between the events in each pair:

Step 2 :Pair A: Even numbers (2, 4, 6) and Numbers smaller than 3 (1, 2) have an intersection: \(\{2\}\)

Step 3 :Pair B: Even numbers (2, 4, 6) and Odd numbers (1, 3, 5) have no intersection

Step 4 :Check if the events are mutually exclusive:

Step 5 :Pair A: Not mutually exclusive, because they both include the number 2

Step 6 :\boxed{\text{Pair B: Mutually exclusive, because there is no overlap between even and odd numbers}}
