Question

Determine whether the given event is mutually exclusive or inclusive. Then find the probability.

A coin is tossed.
P(head or tail)

Answer 1

wow is that really what the problem says?

Answer 2

because it makes no sense to say that one event is "mutually exclusive"
"mutually exclusive" involves two events, that is the "mutual" part

Answer 3

idk that how it is on my work

Answer 4

lorda mercy, is this in a book? or on line?

Answer 5

online

Answer 6

if you flip a coin, the probability you get heads or tails is one, because you have to get one or the other

Answer 7

i bearly understands this math at all

Answer 8

i can see why. it is written by a moron

Answer 9

but this part should not be too bad
P(heads or tails) is the probability that, if you flip a coin, you get either heads or tails
that is a "certain event" because you have to get one or the other
the probability of a certain even (one that is sure to happen) is 1

Answer 10

but unfortunately the question "is the event mutually exclusive" literally makes no sense
it is like asking naming one person and then asking "who is older"
you need two to compare!

Answer 11

yeah iknw

Answer 12

sorry i can't be more help on that one, but if the idiot who wrote it really meant
one event is getting heads
the other it getting tails
are they mutually exclusive?
then the answer is "yes" since you cannot get head and tails at the same time

i would go with "exclusive" you got a 50% chance of getting it right

Answer 13

it okay thanks
