Answer 1

i give medals! please help me!!!!!

Answer 2

How do you understand "mutually exclusive events" (in this question) ?

Answer 3

once your done will you help me with mine?

Answer 4

well i know that mutually exclusive events are like probability, but when i did it like that i got he wrong answer. let me see if i can show you my problem through screenshot. if not then iono what to do my computer sucks sometimes

Answer 5

OK, I am just going to explain this really quick .

you are rolling the cube ONCE .

Lets take choice A. if you rolled 4, you rolled a prime number.

In other words 4 is a prime number. Is that true or false ?

Answer 6

I have no idea exactly what I did and what im doing and what im doing wrong, but I reread the lesson and it clicked (again) but when it came to the assessment it was asking questions that I didn't learn in the lesson

Answer 7

false i think... because 2 can multiply itself by itself to make 4

Answer 8

2•2=4

Answer 9

Yes, so rolling a 4 and rolling a four a mutually exclusive events - they exclude each other, because if you rolled 4 you didn't roll a prime number, and visa versa.

Answer 10

ok1 i get it now! so the answer would be whatever the number is- like rolling a four and rolling a composite number!

Answer 11

Just making it more easier, ik you get it ;)

A. 4 is NOT a prime number
B. 3 is a prime number
C. 2 is an even number
D. 5 is an odd number

Answer 12

ok now i don't because that made it harder. youre basically telling me there's 3 answers

Answer 13

well A. is out, but what about the others?

Answer 14

No, I am telling that B C and D are true and A is not,.

Answer 15

ohhh

Answer 16

so should I go with the one that is more likely probability wise to be correct? then that would be b... right?

Answer 17

because only 3 and 5 are prime numbers on a di

Answer 18

No, you are asked - in which of the choices the two event exclude each other?

only in A, because only in A youcan roll either 4 or a prime number, since they are different things.

in the rest of the choices the 2 things (like in B rolling 3 and a prime) are same.

Answer 19

exactly @SolomonZelman

Answer 20

ok... after you gave me those answers up there i got lost like someone got lost in the sahara desert

Answer 21

OK, do you get it now though ?

Answer 22

so to sum it up i really never understood it and I still don't because i never came to a clear answer. I really appreciate your time and help and you spending your nerves on my tiny brain but then what would the answer be and why?

Answer 23

if i know that then using the help you gave me then I can probably piece up some understanding ^3^

Answer 24

sorry that was probably rude...

Answer 25

Answer the question.

in which of the choices (A,B,C and D) are the 2 events contradicting each other ?

Answer 26

a

Answer 27

Yes, so A is therefore the answer.

Answer 28

OH NOW I GET IT IM SO SORRY MUTUALLY ExClUsIvE!!!!!!!!!! I'm so stupid!

Answer 29

and slow because after all this time i remember what exclusive means... ^v^ sorrys...

Answer 30
