Question

Visualize. The spinner has 4 sections. 1 and 3 are blue parts of the spinner and 2 and 4 are red parts of the spinner.
Which of the following is not true?
A. Spinning blue or a 4 is a disjoint event.
B. Spinning red or a number less than 2 is an overlapping event
C. Spinning red or a 1 is a disjoint event.
D. Spinning red or an even number is an overlapping event.

Answer 1

Part B is not true. Can you think of why that might be true?

Answer 2

It's because part one is blue, therefore spinning a one and a red at the same time could not possibly be true.

Answer 3

Derplin so the answer is B?

Answer 4

Yes, exactly.
