Question

Determine whether the following events are mutually exclusive.

Choosing a student who is a mathematics major or a finance major from a nearby university to participate in a research study. (Assume that each student only has one major.)

Answer 1

Yes they are mutually exclusive

Explanation:

Yes, both of the events are mutually exclusive because each student has only one major and therefore can't select both Maths and finance majors at the same time.

Thus, they are mutually exclusive of each other.
