Answer 2

?

Answer 3

@Directrix

Answer 4

Independent

Answer 5

as they are all the results of different elements of the result set.

Answer 6

would you agree @Directrix

Answer 7

I'm thinking about "Mutually exclusive" because less than 3 excludes more than 4. But, then there is that OR in the problem. Let me think.

Answer 8

In probability theory, to say that two events are independent means that the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of the other.

Answer 9

Mutually Exclusive: can't happen at the same time.

Answer 10

Okay... I think... @Directrix got the correct point here.... His opinion is looking correct.

Answer 11

so you guys think Mutually exclusive to?

Answer 12

Let's not jump to a quick conclusion, especially one that may be wrong.

Answer 13

Rolling a 3 or less does not alter the probability of tossing a 4 or more on the next toss.
Also, a 3 or less and a 4 or more cannot happen at the same time.

So, I am going with mutually exclusive although I am not 100% sure.
