That's incorrect - mistakes are part of learning. Keep trying!

Event A: rolling a 6-sided fair number cube and getting an even number

Event B: rolling a 6-sided fair number cube and getting a number greater than 4
Event A: rolling a 6-sided fair number cube and getting 1
Event B: rolling a 6-sided fair number cube and getting an even number

Event A: drawing a card from a 52-card standard deck and getting a red face card

Event B: drawing a card from a 52-card standard deck and getting a black card

Event A: drawing a card from a 52-card standard deck and getting a face card

Event B: drawing a card from a 52-card standard deck and getting a red card

Answer Explanation
Correct answer:
Event A: rolling a 6-sided fair number cube and getting 1
Event B: rolling a 6-sided fair number cube and getting an even number

Event A: drawing a card from a 52-card standard deck and getting a red face card

Event B: drawing a card from a 52-card standard deck and getting a black card

In the second answer choice, Event A is 1 and Event B is 2,4,6. Since the events have no outcomes in common, they are mutually exclusive.

In the third answer choice, note that a card cannot be both red and black, so it cannot be a red face card and black, so Event A and Event B have no outcomes in common. Therefore, they are mutually exclusive.
