Question

Two fair number cubes are rolled. State whether the events are mutually exclusive. Explain your reasoning.

The numbers are the same, the sum is odd.


Are they mutually exclusive?


A. Yes because if one event occurs, the other can’t occur


B. No because they both can’t occur at the same time


C. No because if one event occurs, the other can’t occur


D. Yes, because both events can occur at the same time

Answer 1

The answer is B because if you think about it for example if the number is 4 and 4 it would give you 8 but that’s even and if you take 3 and 3 will give you 6 also another even so if you have the same two number you can always divide it by two
Hope this helps
