Question

A spinner is divided into 8 equal sections numbered 1 through 8. Which 2 events are disjoint

A. Spinning an event number and spinning a 6
B. Spinning a number less than 4 and spinning a 3
C. Spinning a number less than 4 and spinning a 6
D. Spinning an odd number and spinning a 6

Answer 1

a spinner is a number less than 4 and spinning a 6 so the answer is -- C

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is (C) and (D).

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a spinner is divided into 8 equal sections numbered 1 through 8. We are to select from the pair of disjoint events from the given options.

Option (A) is

Spinning an even number and spinning a 6. Since 6 is also an even number, so these two events are not disjoint.

Option (B) is

Spinning a number less than 4 and spinning a 3. Since the number 3 is also less than 4, so these two events will not be disjoint.

Option (C) is

Spinning a number less than 4 and spinning a 6. Since these two events do not have any common number, so these are disjoint events.

Option (D) is

Spinning an odd number and spinning a 6. Since 6 is an even number, so these two events are also disjoint.

Thus, (C) and (D) are the correct options.
