Question

Are the events of choosing an eight or a spade from a standard deck of cards mutually exclusive?

1) True
2) False

Answer 1

The events of choosing an eight or a spade from a standard deck of cards are not mutually exclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

The events of choosing an eight or a spade from a standard deck of cards are not mutually exclusive.

In a standard deck of cards, there are four eights (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades) and thirteen spades in total, including the eight of spades. Therefore, it is possible to choose a card that is both an eight and a spade at the same time.

Thus, the statement is False.
