Question 1177126: 9. Create and explain your own example of the following:
a. mutually exclusive events (1 mark)
Flip a coin and get heads and tails.
Mutually exclusive events cannot happen at the same time so you can’t get head and tail at the same time. (is this a good example? or should I add more detail?)
b. non-mutually exclusive events (1 mark)
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a. mutually exclusive events
The events “running forward” and “running backwards” are mutually exclusive. Tossing a coin can also give you this type of event.
b. non-mutually exclusive events
are events that can happen at the same time
Examples: driving and listening to the radio, even numbers and prime numbers on a die, losing a game and scoring, or running and sweating
