👉 In mathematics, independence is a property that two or more variables are related to each other in such a way that their values do not change when one variable changes. In simpler terms, if two variables A and B have an independent relationship with respect to each other, then any change in value of A does not affect the value of B. For example: - If x is a random variable representing the price of a stock, then its value can be influenced by changes in interest rates but not by changes
