Problem

A probability experiment is conducted in which the sample space of the experiment is $S=\{4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15\}$, event $E=\{4,5,6,7\}$ and event $\mathrm{G}=\{10,11,12,13\}$. Assume that each outcome is equally likely. List the outcomes in $\mathrm{E}$ and $\mathrm{G}$. Are $\mathrm{E}$ and $\mathrm{G}$ mutually exclusive?

List the outcomes in $\mathrm{E}$ and $\mathrm{G}$. Choose the correct answer below.
A. $E$ and $G=\{$ T
(Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
B. $E$ and $G=\{\}$

Are $E$ and $G$ mutually exclusive?
A. Yes, because the events $E$ and $G$ have no outcomes in common
B. No, because the events $E$ and $G$ have outcomes in common.
C. No, because the events $E$ and $G$ have at least one outcome in common.
D. Yes, because the events $E$ and $G$ have at least one outcome in common

Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Yes, because the events E and G have no outcomes in common.}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The outcomes in event E are 4, 5, 6, 7.

Step 2 :The outcomes in event G are 10, 11, 12, 13.

Step 3 :There are no common outcomes between E and G.

Step 4 :Therefore, E and G are mutually exclusive.

Step 5 :\(\boxed{E \text{ and } G = \{4,5,6,7,10,11,12,13\}}\)

Step 6 :\(\boxed{\text{Yes, because the events E and G have no outcomes in common.}}\)
