Answer:
a. Probability is 50%
b. Picking either a heart or spade is mutually exclusive
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 52 cards in a deck of cards.
Of those 52, 13 are hearts and 13 are spades.
The probability of picking wither of them is therefore:
= (13 + 13) / 52
= 26/52
= 50%
Mutually exclusive events are those that cannot occur at the same time. You can either pick a heart or you can pick a spade. You cannot pick both at the same time so these are mutually exclusive.
