Independent and Dependent Events

Independent events are events where the occurrence of one event does not affect the occurrence of the other event. For example, flipping a coin twice is an independent event because the outcome of the first flip does not affect the outcome of the second flip.

Dependent events are events where the occurrence of one event affects the occurrence of the other event. For example, drawing two cards from a deck without replacement is a dependent event because the probability of drawing a certain card on the second draw depends on the card drawn on the first draw.
