A. Explain why the suits within a deck of cards are mutually exclusive

B. Find the probability of selecting an Ace or a Heart from a single pull from a deck of cards.
 

 

Expert Solution
Mutually exclusive

A.

Mutually exclusive events are those events that cannot occur together in a single trial. 

In a deck of cards, there are 13 cards of each suit and each card belongs to only one suit that is no one card belongs to more than one suit. Hence if a card is selected anyhow and any suit is obtained then the other three cannot be said to have occurred in that trial.

Hence the suits in a standard deck of cards are mutually exclusive.
