Answer:

even numbers greater than 50 and prime numbers greater than 50

Explanation:

An event can be considered as mutually exclusive in probability and statistics when two sample propositions cannot be held as true by any means. Therefore, the pair that clearly illustrates a mutually exclusive event would be "even numbers greater than 50 and prime numbers greater than 50."

The only prime number that is even is 2, so even numbers over 50 would be divisible by 2, and then not prime.
