Suppose a number cube is rolled twice. Does the second roll depend on the first roll?

• yes - the events are dependent; if I roll a 3 the first time, I'm more likely to roll a specific number the second time

• no - the events are independent; if I roll a 3 the first time, this will not affect me rolling any other number a second time.
