the names of the months are each written on a slip of paper. if a slip of paper is randomly drawn, which scenario depicts mutually exclusive events?\no begins with a j and contains a u\no ends with an r and has five or fewer letters\no has thirty - one days and ends with a y\no contains an e and has thirty or fewer days

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall definition of mutually - exclusive events

Two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time.

Step2: Analyze each option

  • Option 1: Months that begin with 'J' are January, June, July. January and June contain 'u'. So, these events are not mutually exclusive.
  • Option 2: Months that end with 'r' are September, October, November, December. Months with five or fewer letters are May. No month can end with 'r' and have five or fewer letters simultaneously. These events are mutually exclusive.
  • Option 3: Months with 31 days are January, March, May, July, August, October, December. Months that end with 'y' are January, February, May, July. So, these events are not mutually exclusive.
  • Option 4: Months that contain 'e' are September, November, December, February, March, April, May, June, July. Months with 30 or fewer days are April, June, September, November. So, these events are not mutually exclusive.

Answer:

ends with an r and has five or fewer letters
