Solution

Dependent events in probability means events whose occurrence of one affect the probability of occurrence of the other. For example suppose a bag has 3 red and 6 green balls. Two balls are drawn from the bag one after the other.

The probability of picking the first card cant affect the probability of picking the second card, hence it is dependent

So
