Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events are disjoint or mutually exclusive if they cannot occur together.  

That is, if two events are mutually exclusive, then the probability of them both taking place at one time is null.

That is, if events A and B are mutually exclusive then, P (A and B) = 0.

The events in this case can be defined as follows:

<em>A</em> = adults in a country bet on professional sports

<em>B</em> = male adults

The two events A and B are not mutually exclusive. This is because an adult in a country betting on professional sports can either be a male or a female.

So, a person can be both male and bet on professional sports at the same time.

Thus, the events A and B are not mutually exclusive.

The correct option is C.

Who Washes? Erica and Aaron, who are siblings, have decided to use a lottery system to decide who will wash dishes every night.
Anestetic [448]

Given that Erica and AAron,are using lottery system to decide who will wash dishes every night.

They put some red and blue power chips and draw each one.  If same colour, Aaron will wash and if not same colours Erica will wash

If the game is to be fair, then both should have equal chances of opportunity for washing.

i.e. Probability for Erica washing = Prob of Aaron washing

i.e. P(different chips) = P(same colour chips)

Say there are m red colours and n blue colours.

Both are drawing at the same time.

Hence Prob (getting same colour) = (mC2+nC2)/(m+n)C2

Probfor different colour = mC1+nC1/(m+n)C2

The two would be equal is mC2 +nC2 = m+n

This is possible if mC2 =m and nC2 = n.

Or m = 2+1 =3 and n =3

That for a fair game we must have both colours to be 3.
