The event whose occurrence is not relying on other the other event is independent e.g the occurance of Head in a coin throw is not dependent on other side, the Tail, so it is an independent event.
When two events are depending on each other in order to gain a required result, the events are said to be dependant.

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 independent probability?
An independent probability is a probability that is not based on any other event.An example of an independent probability is a coin toss. Each toss is independent, i.e. not related to, any prior coin toss.An example of a dependent probability is the probability of drawing a second Ace from a deck of cards. The probability of the second Ace is dependent on whether or not a first Ace was drawn or not. (You can generalize this to any two cards because the sample space for the first card is 52, while the sample space for the second card is 51.)
What Event whose probability depends on one or more independent events is a?
dependent event
Can independent events exist in reality?
Yes. Independent events can exist in reality. Dependent events means that one event has had an effect on the other. For instance, if we look at the probability of someone going to the shops, and the probability of them buying an apple, the latter is clearly dependent on the former. Independent events are simply events that don't have this connection. The probability of one does not influence or predict the probability of the other. For instance, if I studied the probability of you going to see a film on a particular day, and the probability of someone in China getting a hole in one in golf, these are very clearly independent events.
How do you find the probability of independent and dependent events?
P(A given B)*P(B)=P(A and B), where event A is dependent on event B. Finding the probability of an independent event really depends on the situation (dart throwing, coin flipping, even Schrodinger's cat...).
