landing on a shaded portion and landing on an even number
; landing on a shaded portion and landing on a number greater than 3
; landing on an unshaded portion and landing on an odd number
; and landing on an unshaded portion and landing on a number less than 2.
Explanation:
Mutually exclusive events are events that cannot occur at the same time. Our spinner has two grey sections, on 1 and 3; and two white sections, on 2 and 4.
This means that the spinner cannot land on a shaded (grey) portion and land on an even number at the same time, since the grey sections are numbered 2 and 4, both of which are even numbers.
The spinner also cannot land on a shaded (grey) portion and land on a number greater than 3 at the same time; this is because the only number greater than 3 on the spinner is 4, which is a white portion.
The spinner cannot land on an unshaded (white) portion and land on an odd number, since the white sections are labeled 2 and 4, which are both even.
The only number on the spinner less than 2 is 1, which is grey; this means the spinner cannot land on a number less than 2 and an unshaded (white) portion at the same time.
