Mutually Exclusive vs. Independent vs. Complementary
Mutually Exclusive Events If event A happens, then event B cannot, or vice-versa. Independent Events The outcome of event A has no effect on the outcome of event B. Complementary Events If the two events are the only possible outcomes, they are complementary. The outcome is either A or B only.
- If A and B are mutually exclusive, they cannot be independent.
Flip heads/Flip tails- If A and B are independent, they cannot be mutually exclusive.
Roll a 3/Flip tails- If A and B are complementary, they cannot be independent.
Flip heads/Flip tails either-or- If A and B are complementary, they are mutually exclusive
Flip heads OR Flip tails

2. Warm-Ups: Multiplication reviews
3. Page 59 Problem 6.1 a/b/c
OBJECTIVE: 1.4.1 Understand the concepts of complementary, independent, and mutually exclusive events 1.4.2 Understand and apply the procedures for determining the probabilities of multiple trials ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Page 59 Problem 6.1 a/b/c: Play the game, collect the data required. Students will then attempt models to determine the theoretical probability of both games. Results should be pictorial with a math background - guessing or simple counts will not be counted as solutions. NOTES: HOMEWORK: Page 64 #2
