Question

Paul will roll two standard dice simultaneously. If Event A = both dice are odd and Event B = at least one die is even, which of the following best describes events A and B?

Answer 1

Mutually Exclusive

Dependent

Explanation:

Given that both events cannot occur at the same time, that is "both dice cannot be odd (event A) if at least one of the dice is even (event B).

Hence, this is MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.

Also, given the fact that the occurrence of one event (event A) affects the probability of the other (event B).

Hence, this is DEPENDENT.
