Suppose my friend discovered that her cat had a taste for the adorable little geckoes that live in the bushes and vines in her yard in Arizona. In one month, suppose he deposited the following on her carpet: six gray geckoes, twelve geckoes that had dropped their tails in an effort to escape capture, and fifteen geckoes that he'd chewed on a little. Only one of the geckoes was gray, chewed on, and tail-less; two were gray and tail-less but not chewed on; two were gray and chewed on but not tail-less. If there were a total of 24 geckoes left on her carpet that month, and all of the geckoes were at least one of "gray", "tail-less", and "chewed on", how many were tail-less and chewed on but not gray?

If two events are mutually exclusive, then which of the following is true?

• $P\left(A\cup B\right)=0$

• $The\ venn\ diagram\ has\ only\ two\ none\ overlapping\ circles$

• $P\left(A\right)+P\left(B\right)-P\left(A\cap B\right)=P\left(A\right)+P\left(B\right)$

• $P\left(A\cap B\right)=P\left(A\right)\cdot P\left(B\right)$
