Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Independent events are those where the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another. In the case of rolling a fair 6 - sided cube multiple times, each roll is an independent event as the result of one roll does not influence the result of the next roll. In the other options, selection without replacement (drawing cards without replacement, eating a candy and then selecting another) and sequential selection for different positions (selecting President and Vice - President) are dependent events.

Answer:

A fair 6 - sided cube has a different color on each side—red, blue, green, orange, purple, and yellow. Evan rolls the cube 3 times.
