Are these events mutually exclusive and dependent or independent?

Events that can not happen at the same time are considered mutually exclusive; if one happens, the other can not. Events are considered independent if the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other in a measurable way. Because one event occuring prevents the other event from occuring, mutually exclusive events are always considered dependent; if one happens, the other is affected.
