Answer:

A and B are exhaustive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]A = \{1,2,4\}[/tex]

[tex]B = \{2,3,4,5,6\}[/tex]

[tex]C =\{3,4\}[/tex]

[tex]D = \{2,4,5\}[/tex]

Solving (a): The mutually exclusive events

These are events that have no common or mutual elements

Events A to D are not mutually exclusive because each of the events have at least 1 common element with one another.

Solving (b): Exhaustive events.

Two events X and Y are said to be exhaustive if:

[tex]S = P(X\ n\ Y)[/tex]

i.e. if the sample space equals the intersection of X and Y

For events A to D, we have:

[tex]A\ n\ B = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}[/tex]

and the sample space is:

[tex]S = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}[/tex]

By comparison;

[tex]A\ n\ B = S[/tex]

Hence, A and B are exhaustive.
