The occurrence of one event does not affect the occurrence of the other event. Take for example tossing a coin. The first toss has no affect on the outcome of the second toss, so these events are independent.

Independent events.
It may or may not be - it depends on the events.
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.
It depends on whether or not the events are independent.
