Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The categories are not mutually exclusive because a person could be in two or more of the categories. For example, a person who is 10 years old could be in the 5-10 category and the 10-20 category. The categories are not exhaustive because they do not include all possible ages. For example, a person who is 4 years old would not be included in any of the categories.
