Decide whether or not the events are mutually exclusive.
8) Events A and B defined as follows
A card is drawn at random from a deck of cards. Event A is that the card
obtained is a face card and B is the event that the card obtained is a
spade.
Ans: Not mutually exclusive because there are face cards that are spades.

Event A is that at least three of Toniʹs five cousins are female.
Event B is that at least three of Toniʹs five cousins are male.
Ans: Mutually exclusive because P(A and B) is zero.
