- independence related to random variables. - suitable events involving the possible values of various random variables Independence of a Random Variable from an Event 'The occurrence of the conditioning event provides no new information on the value of the random variable.' The random variable \(X\) is independent of the event \(A\) if $$P(X = x and A) = P(X = x)P(A) = p_X(x)P(A), \quad \text{f..
