Answer:

No, the rolls are not dependent on each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events A and B are said to be independent events if the occurence of one event does not affect the probability that the second event will occur.

For example, if we roll a dice the first time and have a 5, the probability of having a 5 again in the next roll is not in any way dependent on whether or not we had a 5 in the first roll. So we can say that rolling a dice is an independent event.

So if a dice gets rolled 6 times, the rolls are not dependent on each other since the outcome of one roll does not affect the outcome of the next roll.
