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.
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.
Do you multiply for dependent events?
No, you multiply for independent events.
What does it mean for two events to be equally likely?
1/4
