Suppose you roll a standard number cube once. Are rolling a 4 and rolling a 3 mutually exclusive events? Explain

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

question to ask yourself: is it possible to roll a 3 AND a 4 at the same time?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

can you roll them at the SAME time?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so the two are mutually exclusive since the two events have no overlap

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

as @jim_thompson5910 said

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

imagine drawing two circles to represent landing on 3 or landing on 4 if you throw a dart, you'll land in one of those circles (or some other circle) but you won't land in both at the same time
