Describe a situation in which the probability of two events is mutually exclusive. Formulate and answer a question about its probability. Repeat the process for inclusive events. Read your classmates' answers. How do they compare to yours? Did you come up with the same situation as anyone else? Do you agree or disagree with their vision of the situation? Why is it important to determine whether events are mutually exclusive?

anonymous · Answer

@nincompoop so rolling die would be inclusive? Math isn't my strong area... neither are words, so if I don't make sense tell me lol

mathstudent55 · Answer

Mutually exclusive
If you roll an even number, it is not odd ,and if you roll an odd number it is not even.

Inclusive would be: roll a 3 or an odd number. Since 3 is odd, rolling a 3 or an odd number are not mutually exclusive events.
