Introduction
A set of events is jointly or collectively exhaustive if at least one of the events must occur. For example, when rolling a six-sided die, the outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are collectively exhaustive, because they encompass the entire range of possible outcomes.
Pre-Requisites:
Idea about probability, sample space, events.
Activity:
Take a pack of cards and find the probability that the card drawn is either red or black!
Real Life Question:
While rolling a dice, what is the probability that the outcome will be either odd or even?
