Answer 8

Independent events = the outcome of the first event does not influence the outcome of the second event
(ex: if you draw a card from a deck and PUT IT BACK IN THE DECK and then draw a second card from the same deck)


Dependent events= the outcome of the first event influences the outcome of the second event
(ex: if you draw a card from a deck WITHOUT PUTTING IT BACK IN THE DECK then draw a second card from the same deck)
