since she did not replace the first card that she drew, then the probability of the second event is dependent on the outcome of the first event.
the deck has 52 cards.
if all the cards are in the deck, the probability of drawing a club is 13/52.
if she draws a spade and she doesn't replace the card in the deck, there are still 13 clubs in the deck but the total number of cards is 51 rather than 52.
that changes the probability of drawing a club from 13/52 to 13/51.
that makes the events dependent.
