Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The probability of two events depends on whether what happens in the first event affects the probability of the second event. Such events are called dependent because the probability of the second event depends on the outcome of the first draw.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dependent events: Two events are dependent when the outcome of the first event influences the outcome of the second event. The probability of two dependent events is the product of the probability of X and the probability of Y AFTER X occurs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Two events are said to be Dependent when the outcome of the first event influences the outcome of the second event.

Detailed explanation-4: -Two events are dependent if the outcome of the first event affects the outcome of the second event, so that the probability is changed.
