Definition of Independent Event

Independent Events are events that are not affected by each other.

Some examples are

  • rolling a die: the number on the second roll of the die is not affected by the number on the first roll
  • tossing a coin: whether you get heads or tails on the second coin toss is not affected by whether you got heads or tails on the first coin toss
  • choosing a jelly bean and choosing a chocolate beannie: the colour of the jellybean chosen does not affect the colour of the beannie chosen.
