An independent event is one that does not affect the probability of another event. An example might be two coin tosses. No matter what the first coin toss is, the second coin toss is still a 50:50 proposition.

What dies it mean for events to occur independently?
When events are to occur independently, that means all of the events will happen on their own with no form of trigger from another. They are all independent of each other and will happen when they decide to happen.
What is the multiplication principle?
If one event can occur in "m" ways and a second can occur independently of the first in "n" ways, then the two events can occur in "mn" ways.
What is a disjoint events mean?
In probability theory, disjoint events are two (or more) events where more than one cannot occur in the same trial. It is possible that none of them occur in a particular trial.
What does take things as they come mean?
Accepting and dealing with events in your life as they occur.
Chemical reactions will occur independently of the reactant's temperature?
false
What does mutally exclusive mean?
It means the two events cannot simultaneously occur; for example the two events, being dead and being alive are mutually exclusive, since they cannot occur at the same time.
What is the difference between simultaneous and parallel events?
Parallel events are similar events. Simultaneous events are events that occur at the same time. Both simultaneous and parallel events occur at different places.
What is the definition of sequence of events?
in order in which events occur.
When did these events occur?
They occurred then.
What do you call events that occur in a sequence?
You call them 'sequence of events'.
Do black tie events only occur on weekends?
* Generally black tie events occur on weekends, but, there are instances that they can occur during the evening anytime of the week.
What are events that cannot both occur in the same trail of an expierement?
Two events that cannot occur at the same time are called mutually exclusive. If two events are mutually exclusive what is the probability that both occur.
