Question

1. if you cannot be on the soccer team and the football team at the same time, that is an example of a(n) ____________ event.

mutually exclusive
theoretical
inclusive
complementary

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the definitions:

• Mutually exclusive events: Cannot occur at the same time. Being on the soccer team and football team simultaneously is impossible, so this fits.
• Theoretical: Relates to probability theory (not about mutual exclusion).
• Inclusive: Events that can occur together (opposite of the scenario).
• Complementary: One event occurs if and only if the other does not (not the case here, as there are more than two outcomes).

Answer:

A. mutually exclusive
