Question

decide if the events a and b are mutually exclusive or not mutually exclusive. a die is rolled. a: the result is a 3. b: the result is an odd number. not mutually exclusive mutually exclusive

Explanation:

Step1: Define mutually - exclusive events

Two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time.

Step2: Analyze events A and B

Event A is getting a 3. Event B is getting an odd number (1, 3, 5). Since 3 is both the result of event A and is an odd number (part of event B), the two events can occur simultaneously.

Answer:

not mutually exclusive
