Mutually Exclusive Events Two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time. Another word that means mutually exclusive is disjoint. If two events are disjoint‚ then the probability of them both occurring at the same time is 0. Disjoint: P (A and B) = 0 If two events are mutually exclusive‚ then the probability of either occurring is the sum of the probabilities of each occurring. Specific Addition Rule Only valid when the events are mutually exclusive

Notes on significant figures When we use an equipment to take measurement‚ it is important to be honest when reporting a measurement‚ so that it does not appear to be more accurate than the equipment used to make the measurement allows. To achieve this‚ we can control the number of significant figures used to report the measurement. When we look at a number‚ its first significant figure is the first digit from the left‚ other than 0. E.g. - in the number 539 the first significant figure

Take for example if a group of students were performing in a lab and a step in the procedure was to measure a piece of metal.

Significant figures are essential to science because they make the answer more precise when the tools require us to use estimation. Significant figures are the digits that contribute to the value of a number. Throughout the lab we were given instructions to measure different objects using different tools with the objective of figuring out how the amount significant figures affect the accuracy of the measurement. Firstly‚ it is important to know and understand significant figures because they make
