Answer:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on a 3"

"landing on an unshaded portion and landing on a number less than 2 "

Explanation:

Mutually exclusive means the events will have no intersection.

Let's look at your first choice:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on an even number"

Landing on a shaded portion would be 1 or 4.

Landing on an even number would be 2 or 4.

There is an intersection (they contain a common element), the 4.

These events are not mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your second choice:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on a number greater than 3"

Landing on a shaded portion would be 1 or 4.

Landing on a number greater than 3 would be just 4.

There is an intersection; they both contain 4.

These events are not mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your third choice:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on a 3"

Landing on a shaded portion would be 1 or 4.

Landing on 3 would just be 3.

There is no common elements in the lists listed. These events have no intersection.

These events are mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your fourth choice:

"landing on an unshaded portion and landing on an odd number"

Landing on a unshaded portion would be 2 or 3.

Landing on an odd number would be 1 or 3.

There is an intersection; they both have 3 in common.

These events are not mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your fifth choice:

"landing on an unshaded portion and landing on a number less than 2 "

Landing on an unshaded portion would 2 or 3.

Landing on a number less than 2 would be 1.
