two events are called independent when
the outcome of either event does not affect the probability that the other event happens.
the events have some outcomes in common.
the events have no outcomes in common.
neither event can claim the other on their federal income taxes.

Explanation:

In probability theory, independent events are defined such that the occurrence of one event has no impact on the probability of the other event occurring. Events having some or no outcomes in common refer to other concepts (overlapping and mutually - exclusive events respectively), and the tax - related statement is unrelated to the concept of independent events.

Answer:

the outcome of either event does not affect the probability that the other event happens.
