a
Mutually exclusive
b
Not Mutually exclusive
c
Not Mutually exclusive
d
Not Mutually exclusive
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The number of bolt is n = 12
The event that all the bolt are torqued correctly is A
The event that the 3rd bolt is not torqued correctly is B
The event that exactly one bolt is not torqued correctly is C
The event that the [tex]4^{th}[/tex] and [tex]8^{th}[/tex] are torqued correctly is D
Generally for an event to be mutually exclusive it means that both event can not occur at the same time
Considering a
The A and B are mutually exclusive because they can not occur at the same time
Considering b
The event B and D are not mutually exclusive because they can occur at the same time
Considering c
Event C and D are not mutually exclusive because they can occur at the same time
Considering d
Event B and C are not mutually exclusive because they can occur at the same time
