Mutually Exclusive and Inclusive Events PDF

The document discusses mutually exclusive and mutually inclusive events. [1] Mutually exclusive events cannot occur at the same time and have no outcomes in common, while mutually inclusive events can occur at the same time and have common outcomes. [2] The probability of mutually exclusive events is calculated as P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B), while the probability of mutually inclusive events is calculated as P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B). [3] Examples of determining whether probability problems involve mutually exclusive or inclusive events and setting up the appropriate probability calculation are provided.

Mutually Exclusive and


Mutually Inclusive Events

Objective:

- To determine the difference between a mutually exclusive and


inclusive event.

- To find the probability of mutually exclusive and inclusive


events.

Mutually Exclusive – when two events ________________ happen at the


same time.

** You will ____________ have any outcomes in common.

Examples of mutually exclusive events:

- Turning left and turning right - Tossing a coin (getting


heads/tails)

- In cards: kings and aces

Formula for Mutually Exclusive

P(A or B) =
Mutually Inclusive – when one event can happen at the
_________________ time.

** You will have outcomes in _______________.

Examples of mutually inclusive events:

- Turning your head left and scratching your head

- In cards: kings and hearts

Formula for Mutually Inclusive

P(A or B) =

**When completing these problems, first ask yourself if the problems are
mutually EXCLLUSIVE or INCLUSIVE? This will help you determine how to
set up and solve the problem.
A card is drawn randomly from nine cards labeled 1 through 9. What is the
probability of picking a 5 or an even number.

We have two possible outcomes.


a. Getting a 5 Mutually exclusive/inclusive? ___________
b. Getting an even number

P(number less than 4 or a 2) =

We have two possible outcomes.

a. Getting a number less than 4 Mutually exclusive/inclusive? _____________


b. Getting a 2
Examples: A card is drawn randomly from nine cards labeled 1 through 9.

P(odd number or a number less than 3) = ________

Examples: A card is drawn randomly from nine cards labeled 1 through 9.

P(1 or a number greater than or equal to 7) = _______


Examples: A card is drawn randomly from nine cards labeled 1 through 9.

P(3 or a number greater than 9) = ________

Examples: A card is drawn randomly from nine cards labeled 1 through 9.

P(2 or an even number) = _________
