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.

Mutually exclusive means they are independent of one another. So, the two events are independent of one another.
No, independence means they are not related. Mutually exclusive means they cannot occur at the same time.
Two events are independent if the outcome of one has no effect on the probability of the outcomes for the other.
The probability of two independent events occurring together is the product of both events. yw lazy odyssey users like me :)
