Definition

An independent event is an event whose outcome is not affected by the outcome of another event.

Description

Independent events are a key concept in probability, where the occurrence of one event does not influence another. This principle is applied in various fields, such as quality control, where the failure of one product does not affect others. Understanding independent events is essential for students to accurately calculate probabilities and analyze situations where events occur without influencing each other.

Independent Event
