two events are dependent if they have outcomes in common and can occur at the same time.
two events are dependent if the outcome of the first event does not affect the outcome of the second event.
two events are dependent if the outcome of the first event affects the outcome of the second event.

Explanation:

Dependent events are defined as events where the outcome of the first event influences the outcome of the second event. Events with no common outcomes and cannot occur at the same time are mutually - exclusive events. Events with common outcomes that can occur at the same time are not the definition of dependent events. When the first event's outcome has no effect on the second, they are independent events.

Answer:

Two events are dependent if the outcome of the first event affects the outcome of the second event.
