getting an odd number and getting an even number.
these are mutually exclusive.
the number will either be odd or it will be even.
it can't be both at the same time.

getting a 3 and getting an odd number.
these are not mutually exclusive.
in fact, if you get a 3, you must have gotten an odd number as well, because 3 is an odd number.

getting an odd number and getting a number less than 4.
these are not mutually exclusive.
a 1 or a 3 are odd and less than 4 at the same time.

getting a number greater than 4 and getting a number less than 4.
these are mutually exclusive.
the number will either be greater than 4 or less than 4 or equal to 4.
it can't be both greater than 4 and less than 4 at the same time.
