The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question does not include options, we can say the following.
Since the probability that a new marriage will end in divorce varies based on whether either of the newly-weds has been divorced before, these two outcomes (the fate of the new marriage and the previous divorce record of the newly-weds) are dependent.
The variables are dependent because they influence the faith of the new couple when getting married. If one had the unfortunate experience of the divorce in its previous relationship, it could impact the direction of its new marriage. It cannot be mutually exclusive because this term means that the events cannot happen at the same moment.
