An even is dependent of the other when one has to occur before the other can do so. Else, one can also occur with the other.

E.g. Christmas (or the winter holidays if you will) has to happen/so that/you go buy Christmas presents.

Hunger usually "depends" on the lack of food in the stomach.

In math, events are dependent when one event affects the probability of the other.

E.g. There is 1 red, 1 green and 1 blue balls in a container. You pick a ball out of 3. There is a probability of 1/3 = 33% of being a certain colour. Now there are only two balls in the container. The next one you pick has a probability of 1/2=50% of being a certain colour,

Is it true that two dependent events can have the same probability of occurring?

Yes, it is possible for two dependent events to have the same probability of occurring. The probability of an event is dependent on the outcomes of other events, and it is influenced by the relationship between these events. So, it is conceivable for two dependent events to have equal probabilities.


What is the definition of dependent events?

Two events are dependent if the outcome or occurrence of the first affects the outcome or occurrence of the second so that the probability is changed.


When one event affects another event the two events are called what?

Dependent.


What are dependent and independent probability in math terms?

Two events are said to be independent if the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other. Their probabilities are independent probabilities. If the events are not independent then they are dependent.


What is the probability of an event that is affected by two or more different events called?

A dependent probability.


If two events are mutually exclusive then they must be dependent?

No, if two events are mutually exclusive, they cannot both occur. If one occurs, it means the second can not occur.


What is two events in which the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other event?

Dependent event :)


Do you multiply for dependent events?

No, you multiply for independent events.


What does complementry events mean in math?

Involves two or more events


What is mean by machine dependent and indipendent?

What does it means for two events to be independent?

If two events are independent of one another, then the outcome of one event does not depend on the outcome of the other event. Example is flipping of two coins. The second coin is not dependent on the outcome of the first flip. But if you want to know if the two coins are the same (either both heads or both tails), then that outcome is dependent on the first coin and the second coin.


Events for which the outcome of one event affects the probability of the other?

Dependent events.
