Answer 2

THOSE ARE THE IDEAS

Answer 3

OK, do you have a definition of "independent" events?

Answer 4

YEA SOLO EVENTS

Answer 5

In what way do you mean "SOLO"?

Answer 6

BY ITSELF

Answer 7

As in "single" or "alone"?

Answer 8

ALONE

Answer 9

That is not the definition used in math, they mean one event has no affect on the next, it is independent of what happened before, like flipping a coin.

Answer 10

The opposite would be "dependent" events where the outcome of one event depends on what happened before.
