A number cube being rolled and a spinner being spun, two cards chosen from a deck and being replaced, a card being chosen and a dark randomly thrown - these are all examples of independent events because one outcome did not effect the outcome of the other event. And in the case of the cards, because it was replaced, each card still had exactly the same probability of being drawn.
