You breathe in the complete mixture of all the gases in the air. Your body then extracts some of the oxygen for you to use and replaces it with carbon dioxide as a waste product. Then you breathe out the resulting mix, which has more carbon dioxide and less oxygen in it than what you breathed in.

Yes, you breathe out these two gases. However, you oxygen content in exhaled air is lower than in inhaled air; while the carbon dioxide content in exhaled air is higher than inhaled air. This is because oxygen is needed for respiration and a product of respiration is carbon dioxide.
Although we take in oxygen, we don't take every last bit of it out of the air we breathe. Therefore when we exhale, we breathe out oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, same components as the air we breathe in, just with slightly less oxygen in it. This is also why performing CPR can save lives, rather than snuff them out. :)

yes we do, we take in oxygen for respiration but our lungs aren't efficient enough to absorb all the oxygen we breathe in and around 15% of what we breathe out is a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Yes, we all exhale oxygen. We absorb only a small part of the oxygen we inhale. There is enough oxygen in our exhaled breath to support the life of another person. That is why CPR works.
