When a die is rolled, sample space S = {...

When a die is rolled, sample space S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Let some of the events are A = {2, 3}, B = {1, 3,5}, C = {4, 6}, D = {6} and E = {1,5}.
(ii) Events A and Care Mutually Exclusive Events.

The correct Answer is:
To determine whether events A and C are mutually exclusive, we follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Sample Space and Events The sample space \( S \) when a die is rolled is: \[ S = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\} \] The events are defined as: - \( A = \{2, 3\} \) - \( C = \{4, 6\} \) ### Step 2: Find the Intersection of Events A and C To check if events A and C are mutually exclusive, we need to find the intersection of these two events, denoted as \( A \cap C \). The intersection \( A \cap C \) consists of all elements that are common to both sets A and C. ### Step 3: Calculate the Intersection - Elements in \( A \) are \( 2 \) and \( 3 \). - Elements in \( C \) are \( 4 \) and \( 6 \). Now, we find the common elements: \[ A \cap C = \{2, 3\} \cap \{4, 6\} = \emptyset \] ### Step 4: Conclusion Since the intersection \( A \cap C \) is empty (i.e., \( A \cap C = \emptyset \)), it means that events A and C do not share any outcomes. Therefore, they are mutually exclusive events. ### Final Answer Yes, events A and C are mutually exclusive. ---
