Question

Rolling a 3 or rolling an odd number on a six sided die. Is it mutually exclusive or non-mutually exclusive? Give one reason.

Answer 1

Answer: Non-Mutually Exclusive

===================================================

Explanation:

Ask yourself "is it possible to get a 3 and an odd number at the same time?"

The answer is "yes, because 3 is an odd number"

This is why they are non-mutually exclusive.

Mutually exclusive events cannot happen at the same time. In terms of a venn diagram, mutually exclusive events would be represented by two circles that do not overlap. The overlapping region is where the two events happen at the same time. An example of mutually exclusive events would be flipping a single coin to land on heads and tails at the same time.

Answer 2

Answer:

Non-mutually exclusive

Step-by-step explanation:

both events can happen simultaneously... 3 is an odd number, events A and B  have a common outcome.

It would be mutually exclusive if event A was rolling a 4 and event B was rolling an odd number.
