choosing a card that is a king or a jack from a standard deck of cards


choosing a card that is a club or a queen from a standard deck of cards


choosing a card that is a king or an ace from a standard deck of cards

Answer 1

The probability of rolling a 5 and rolling an odd number on a die is independent; rolling a 5 does not influence the probability of rolling an odd number the next time.

King or Jack is mutually exclusive; they cannot both happen at the same time.
Club or Queen is not mutually exclusive; they can happen at the same time.
King or Ace is mutually exclusive; they cannot both happen at the same time.
