Mutual Exclisive events
So today in class we got to explore what mutually exclusive events are.
They are events that mutual ( have the same relation with or to each other ) but exlusive, ( or exclude the other ).
EXAMPLE: true and false
You are given a test with true or false questions, you can only choose true or false. You are CANNOT choose both true or false at the same time. If you choose false, then the answer cannot be true, and if you choose true the answer cannot be false. Even though they share a MUTUAL relationship to this situation, the occurrence of one EXCLUDES the occurrence of the other. This is a mutually exclusive event
The Formulla we were given and the situation that we used it in:
Draw either a king or spade in a complete deck of 52 playing cards
A represents the 4 kings that may be drawn and B
During this class we also talked about Independent and Dependent events in relation to Mutually exclusive events
Example
rolling two dice and getting an even sum or double. This is Dependent but Not mutually exclusive.
DEPENDENT EVENTS ARE NEVER MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE
INDEPENDENT EVENTS can be either MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE or NOT
There were more questions we worked on and even though i didnt quit get it at first working through it in class helped. I'm still a bit fuzzy on it. But feel free to refer to the slides if you wish.. I hope this isnt too flashy. When i see that I can use HTML and i REALLY use HTML and... hehehe ... and the next scribe is..drum roll please....
