Given that it is impossible for a user to be satisfied and not satisfied with system 10 at the same time,these two events are called ___________________________.
A)simple events 
B)conditional probabilities 
C)complex probabilities 
D)mutually exclusive events

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mutually exclusive events are events that cannot happen at the same time, which is the case with being satisfied and not satisfied with the same operating system. Simple events refer to single outcomes, conditional probabilities involve the probability of an event given another event has occurred, and complex probabilities refer to situations where multiple events are occurring simultaneously. Therefore, mutually exclusive events is the best choice for this scenario.
