Question:

Multiple choice question

A coin has two sides. If you put the coin on a table with one side up, then you can see only that side of the coin and not the other. Seeing one side of the coin excludes the possibility that you can see the other side at the same time.

Because you can only see one side of a coin at any time, the two possibilities are called 'mutually exclusive'.

Imagine that you are playing a card game with only one pack of cards. If you hold a specific card, this excludes the possibility of someone else holding the same card.

Now see if you can answer the question below.

One player holds 2 kings and an ace and the other player holds one ace.

One player holds 2 kings and the other player holds 2 aces.

One player holds 2 kings and the other player holds a king and an ace.

Look at the four cards in the picture. Two of the cards are kings (K) and 2 of the cards are aces (A). Which answer below shows two possibilities which are mutually exclusive if two people are playing with these 4 cards?

Choose the 1 correct answer.

Response:

One player holds 2 kings and an ace and the other player holds one ace.

One player holds 2 kings and the other player holds 2 aces.
Feedback:

If two situations are mutually exclusive, then both situations cannot possibly exist at the same time. If there are only 2 kings in a set of cards, and one player holds these 2 kings, then it is not possible for another player also to hold a king.

One player holds 2 kings and the other player holds a king and an ace.
