    No, the events are not mutually exclusive because they share the common outcomes of the student working and playing volleyball on certain days.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A and B are mutually exclusive events if they cannot occur at the same time. This means that A and B do not share any outcomes and P (A AND B) = 0.

    In this case, A and B have outcomes in common since the student both works and plays volleyball on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Thus, the events are not mutually exclusive.
