Answer 1

Answer:

1. Landing on a shaded portion and landing on a 3.

2. Landing on an un shaded portion and landing on a number less than 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutually exclusive events means the events will have no intersection.

The two correct options are:

1. Landing on a shaded portion and landing on a 3.

2. Landing on an un shaded portion and landing on a number less than 2.

Explanation for 1:

Landing on a shaded portion means landing on 1 or 4.

Landing on 3 is not possible and it will be only on 3. So, these events have no intersection.

Explanation for 2:

Landing on an un shaded portion means landing on either 2 or 3.  And landing on a number less than 2 means landing on 1.

There is no intersection.

So, these events are mutually exclusive.

Answer 2

Answer:

Landing on a 3 and on a shaded area

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutually exclusive means there is now way the two events can happen at the same time. This is the only option where it can either be one or the other
