The theater director offered every member of the drama one vote for which play they preferred to perform. the director found that 3 5 % 35% voted for the oddems family, that 5 7 % 57% voted for thirteenth night, and that 8 % 8% did not vote. in this group, are the events "oddems family" and "thirteenth night" mutually exclusive?

Yes, in this group both events "Oddems Family" and "Thirteenth Night" are mutually exclusive.

Mutually exclusive is an statistical term which means the probability of occurrence of two separate event at the same time is zero. It means two events can not be occurred simultaneously.

For example, if we roll the deck ant the probability of coming 1 and 6 at the same time is zero and both events do not depends upon each others occurrence.

Hence only one drama can run in theater at one time. So they are mutually exclusive events.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
