Two or more events are mutually exclusive if they share no common outcome.

A set of events are exhaustive if at least one of them has to occur whenever the experiment is carried out.

The outcomes 5 and 7 are not in either event A or event B.

Events A and B are not mutually exclusive.

Each face on an 8-sided die has a unique integer from 1 to 8 written on it.
The Venn diagram shows Event A = {factors of 12} and Event B = {even numbers}.
Which of these statements are correct?

The outcomes 1 and 3 are not in either event A or event B.

Each face on an 8-sided die has a unique integer from 1 to 8 written on it.

Which of these statements are correct?

The outcome 1 isn’t in either event A or event B.

Each face on an 8-sided die has a unique integer from 1 to 8 written on it.
