As a promotion, the first 50 customers who entered a certain store at a mall were asked to choose from one of two discounts. The first discount choice was 20% off all purchases made that day. The second discount choice was 10% off all purchases for the week. Of those who received the discounts, 28 chose the first discount and 22 chose the second discount. One customer will be selected at random from those who received a discount. Let F represent the event that the selected person chose the first discount, and let S represent the event that the selected person chose the second discount.
Are F and S mutually exclusive events?
AYes, because P(F∩S)=0.
BYes, because P(F∩S)=0.12.
CYes, because P(F∩S)=1.
DNo, because P(F∩S)=0.
ENo, because P(F∩S)=1.

Respuesta :

Let F represent the event that the selected individual chooses the first discount and let S represent the event that the selected individual chooses the second discount. Then F and S are mutually exclusive events.

50 customers were asked to choose from one of two discounts

The first discount choice = 20% off all purchases made that day

The second discount choice = 10% off all purchases for the week

28 chose the first discount

22 chose the second discount

When two events cannot happen at the same moment, they are mutually exclusive.

F represents the event that the selected person chose the first discount S represents the event that the selected person chose the second discount, yes F and S  can not occur at the same time so in the case of mutually exclusive, P(F ∩ S).
