Question

Determine whether the event below is mutually exclusive. Then find the probability. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary. Rolling a pair of dice and doubles or a sum of 6 is rolled.Not mutually exclusive.

Answer 1

The given event is not mutually exclusive.

Remember that mutually exclusive events are those events that can't be both true, that is, if one event is true, then the other is false.

The probability of this event would be

$P=\frac{6+5-1}{36}=\frac{10}{36}=\frac{5}{18}\approx0.28$

Therefore, the probability is 0.28, or 28%, approximately.
