A Rolling a total of nine B -Rolling a pair (both dice the same) a) Are these two events mutually exclusive? Why or why not? O A. The events are not mutually exclusive. The event of rolling a total of nine can occur at the same time as rolling a pair during the experiment. O B. The events are not mutually exclusive. The event of rolling a total of nine cannot occur at the same time as rolling a pair during the experiment. O C. The events are mutually exclusive. The event of rolling a total of nine cannot occur at the same time as rolling a pair during the experiment. 0 D. The events are mutually exclusive. The event of rolling a total of nine can occur at the same time as rolling a pair during the experiment.Explanation / Answer
The correct answer is C
Explanation:- Events that cannot occur together are called mutually exclusive events. Such events do no have any common outcomes. In the rolling of the dice totalling nine, the event of total nine can occur when the the outcome of the dice is ( 6,3) ( 3,6) ( 5,4) ( 4,5) . In none of the events, both the dice are the same.
