perl · Answer

the probability of rolling a 3 does not change if you know you already rolled a 3, since each roll has no memory of the last roll

zzr0ck3r · Answer

correct, so they are independent of each other

anonymous · Answer

oh ok... thank you!

anonymous · Answer

Independent events:
if the occurrence of one event does not affect 
the probability of the occurrence of the other event. 

Dependent events: 
if the occurrence of one event does affect the
probability of the occurrence of the other event.
