Answer

dependent

Work Step by Step

If two events are independent, then the occurrence of one of the events does not affect the probability that the other will occur. Contrarily, if two events are dependent, then the occurrence of one will affect the probability that the other event will occur. Since there is one fewer name in the hat, the probabilities change. Thus, the events are dependent.
