Answer 1

Mutually exclusive means there is now way the two events can happen at the same time. This is the only option where it can either be one or the other

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Landing on a shaded portion and landing on a 3.

2. Landing on an un shaded portion and landing on a number less than 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutually exclusive events means the events will have no intersection.

The two correct options are:

1. Landing on a shaded portion and landing on a 3.

2. Landing on an un shaded portion and landing on a number less than 2.

Explanation for 1:

Landing on a shaded portion means landing on 1 or 4.

Landing on 3 is not possible and it will be only on 3. So, these events have no intersection.

Explanation for 2:

Landing on an un shaded portion means landing on either 2 or 3.  And landing on a number less than 2 means landing on 1.

There is no intersection.

So, these events are mutually exclusive.
