two samples are independent if they are drawn from two different populations, and/ or the samples have no effect on each other.

eg: We want to estimate the difference between the mean salaries of all male and all female executives. We draw one sample from the population of male executives and another from the population of female executives. These two samples are independent because they come from different populations and the samples have no effect on each other

Independent samples are a set of observations or data points that are not influenced by or related to each other. Each sample is collected without affecting or being affected by the other samples, allowing for statistical analysis to make conclusions about a broader population. This lack of relationship between the samples is important for ensuring the validity of statistical tests and analyses.
