Question

1. which events could occur at the same time, indicating overlapping?

a. drawing a red card or a club
b. choosing between coffee or tea
c. drawing a king or a heart
d. rolling a 3 or a 5 on a die

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze option a

A club is a black - colored suit. A red card and a club cannot be the same card. So, these two events cannot occur simultaneously.

Step2: Analyze option b

When choosing between coffee or tea, you can only pick one. So, these two events cannot occur simultaneously.

Step3: Analyze option c

There is a king of hearts. So, when drawing a card, it is possible to draw a card that is both a king and a heart. These two events can occur simultaneously.

Step4: Analyze option d

When rolling a die, you can only get one number. So, rolling a 3 and rolling a 5 cannot occur simultaneously.

Answer:

C. Drawing a king or a heart
