Okay great; thanks again for all your help!

Hey Ackbach, Thanks for your response and clarification. I have been thinking about this and I agree with everything you've said. But I am still confused about what term we should use to classify this situation? Event 1: Roll 1 Event 2: Roll 3 or 4 Event 3: Roll 4 or 5 This set of three...

Sorry, but you are saying that you consider the three events (Roll 1, Roll 3 or 4, Roll 4 or 5) to be mutually inclusive?

Ahhh, this makes much more sense to me now; thank you so much! I think I'm in a position where I now completely agree with you that the three events are not mutually exclusive. But now I have a follow-up question, if you don't mind? If the three events are not mutually exclusive, is that...

Hello, Sorry if this is the wrong section of the forums, but I figured that questions about mutually exclusive events are relevant to probability. My current understanding: Two events are mutually exclusive if both events cannot occur at the same time. In other words, two events are mutually...

Thanks Chris L T521! Very detailed and helpful. I am happy that my level of understanding wasn't too far off track :) So in regards to the last question with the 1,400 coins; I don't think I was very clear. I will try to clarify in a moment, but firstly I want to adjust the scenario and...

Greetings, My apologies if the title is confusing; I don't really know how to explain what I am trying to do or what label this problem would fall under. Scenario: We have a magic bag, and inside the magic bag are an unknown/unlimited amount of coins. There are 100 different types of coins...
