1) Determine which events are mutually exclusive and which are not, when a single card is drawn from a deck. a. Getting a 7 and getting a jack b. Getting a club and getting a king c. Getting a face card and getting an ace d. Getting a face card and getting a spade

Respuesta :

Answer:

The events a) and c) are mutually exclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) This is mutually exclusive, each card has a unique value between 2 and 10, or it is a jack, queen, king, or an Ace. A single card cant have two different values at the same time.

b) This is not mutually exclusive, since you can get a king of clubs. Each card can have any combination of one suit and one value.

c) A face card is either a Jack, a Queen or a King, it is not an Ace. For the same argument of a), a card cant have two different values, therefore this event is mutually exclusive.

d) This is not mutually exclusive, since a card can have any suit independently of the value it has (same argument than b), therefore, a card can be a face card and a spade at the exact time.

Therefore, events a and c are mutually exclusive.

a)    Getting a 7 and getting a jack: Mutually exclusive events

b)    Getting a club and getting a king: Not mutually exclusive events

c)    Getting a face card and getting an ace: Mutually exclusive events

d)    Getting a face card and getting a spade: Not mutually exclusive events

A standard deck of cards has 52 cards having 13 ranks each of 4 suites. The 13 ranks are

[tex]\text{Ranks}=\{Ace,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,Jack,Queen,King\}[/tex]

and the suites are

[tex]Suites=\{Clubs,Diamonds,Hearts,Spades\}[/tex]

a)    Getting a 7 and getting a jack:

Since a 7 and a Jack are different rank elements, you either pick a 7 of a suite, or a Jack of a suite, but never both. So, the events are mutually exclusive.

b)    Getting a club and getting a king:

Since a Club is a suite and a King is a Rank, the sample space will have a King of Clubs card. So, the events are not mutually exclusive.

c)    Getting a face card and getting an ace:

A face card is a card with a face on it. Faces are Ranks, but an Ace is also a Rank. The sample space contains cards with only one Rank per card. So, the events are mutually exclusive.

d)    Getting a face card and getting a spade:

Faces are Ranks, and a Spade is a suite. The sample space will contain face cards for the Spade suite of cards. So, the events are not mutually exclusive.
