Independent events do not affect each other’s outcome (e.g., rolling a die and flipping a coin), while dependent events do (e.g., drawing cards without replacement). Mathematically, events A and B are independent if P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B). If they do not satisfy that, they are dependent. Understanding this difference is crucial in probability trees, combinatorial scenarios, or chain-of-event analyses. Correct classification ensures you multiply probabilities appropriately, whether you’re designing experiments or calculating risk in finance, health, or engineering contexts.
