It was quite likely to be a prehistoric event since all events are dichotomous: either they happen or they don't happen. Either the sabre tooth will kill me or it won't, either I will find enough prey or I won't. There is no other outcome. So, in each case, the pair of events are mutually complementary.

How many outcomes are there in common in complementary events?
1
Two disjoint events in which one or the other must occur are called?
Complements or complementary events
Why do complementary events always have a probability of one?
If an event is absolutely certain to happen is then we say the probability of it happening is 1.Complementary events are such that one of the events musthappen. Therefore the probability of one of a set of complementary events occurring is 1.For instance : The probability that a fair coin when tossed will come down showing heads is 1/2, and that it will show tails is also 1/2.The two events are complementary so the probability that the coin toss will result in either a heads or a tails is 1.Similarly, the probability that a die when rolled will show a number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 is 1 as all six events are complementary.
Can two complementary events overlap?
I don't think so hope this helps:))
Is one of two events that are the only ones that can possible happen and sum of whose probabilities is 1?
One of a pair of complementary events.
Are two disjoint events always complementary?
no
Are complementary events also mutually exclusive events?
Yes, they are. Mutually exclusive events cannot occur together. Complementary events cannot occur together either because an event and its complement are the negative of each other.
Definition of complementary events?
they are events that can't occur at the same time. For example, you toss a coin you get head or tails. These are complementary events since you can't have both at the same time, only one!

What are complementary events in probability?
Complementary events are events that are the complete opposite. The compliment of event A is everything that is not event A. For example, the complementary event of flipping heads on a coin would be flipping tails. The complementary event of rolling a 1 or a 2 on a six-sided die would be rolling a 3, 4, 5, or 6. (The probability of A compliment is equal to 1 minus the probability of A.)
When all of the outcomes in a sample space are produced by two events those events are said to be?
These events are said to be complementary.

What is the difference between simple events and complementary events?
Two events complementary when one event occurs if and only if the other does not. Simple event do not depend on other events, it consists of on and only one outcome Doctor Chuck aka mathdoc Two events complementary when one event occurs if and only if the other does not. Simple event do not depend on other events, it consists of on and only one outcome Doctor Chuck aka mathdoc
Sentence with complementary eventos?
A complementary event occurs when two events cannot occur at the same time. The event is ether/or, rather than "and".

In math what is a complementary event's definition?
Complementary events are the events where you are considering all of the other outcomes that you don't want. For example, Let's say you are rolling a die and you want to find all the odd # rolls. When you get a result of an even number, then you would put it aside as a "complementary event", for it is a result that you don't want.
