C. using a standard deck of 52 cards, the probability of selecting a 4 of diamonds or a 4 of hearts is an example of a mutually exclusive event. true of false

True

Step-by-step explanation:

If two events X and Y are mutually exclusive,

Then,

P(X∪Y) = P(X) + P(Y)

Let A represents the event of a diamond card and B represent the event of a heart card,

We know that,

In a deck of 52 cards there are 4 suit ( 13 Club cards, 13 heart cards, 13 diamond cards and 13 Spade cards )

That is, those cards which are heart can not be diamond card,

⇒ A ∩ B = ∅

⇒ P(A∩B) = 0

Since, P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

⇒ P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B)

By the above statement,

Events A and B are mutually exclusive,

Hence, the probability of selecting a 4 of diamonds or a 4 of hearts is an example of a mutually exclusive event is a true statement.

good job you smart son of a gun you are smarter that einstein. 7
