    Question

    Two pure dice are rolled at the same time: one red and one green. The number of pips is upward. Below are several events.  Which alternative is a disjoint relationship between events X and Y?


    1. TRUE: X = at the red die the 3 is above; Y = at the red die the 6 is above.
    2. FALSE: X = at the red die the 3 is above; Y = at the green die the 6 is above.
    3. FALSE: X = the sum of both dice is 4; Y = the red die has one 3.
    4. FALSE: X = the sum of the red and green dice is 5; Y= at the red die the 4 is on top.

    1. X = with the red die, the 3 is above; Y = with the red die, the 6 is above…: Correct
    2. X = by the red die the 3 is above; Y = by the green die the 6 is above…: Incorrect
    3. X = the sum of both dice is 4; Y = the red die has one 3.: Incorrect
    4. X = the sum of the red and the green dice is 5; Y= at the red die the 4 is above…: Incorrect
