Clark Mcgee · Answer 1

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."
