option c is correct that if the two events are mutually exclusive than they cannot be independent.

As, we know that "mutually exclusive events are those events that do not occur at the same time".

Mutually exclusive events do not share any sample points with each other, so they cannot occur at same time. Thus, if event A and event B are mutually exclusive, they are actually inextricably dependent on each other because A's existence reduces event B's probability to zero and vice-versa.

Therefore, two events with nonzero probabilities cannot be independent and mutually exclusive because if two events are mutually​ exclusive, then when one of them​ occurs, the probability of the other must be zero.

Hence, option c is correct that if the two events are mutually exclusive than they cannot be independent.

Use the linear combination method to solve the system of equations. â€"2. 1x 4y = 5. 3 2. 1x â€" 5. 5y = â€"0. 2 What is the sol
RoseWind [281]

The solution to the systems of equations is (7, 3)

Given the systems of equations expressed as:

-x + 4y = 5 ....................1

x - 5y = -2 ...................... 2

Add both equations to have:

-x+x + 4y - 5y = 5 - 2

4y-5y = -3

-y = -3

y = 3

Substitute y = 3 into equation 1:

-x + 4(3) = 5

-x + 12 = 5

-x = 5 - 12

-x = -7

x = 7

Hence the solution to the systems of equations is (7, 3)
