The events described in your question are independent.
In probability, two events are considered independent if the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the other event. Since both events A and B are stated to have a probability of \( \frac{1}{6} \), this indicates that the outcome of one event does not change the outcome of the other.
Therefore, the correct response is:
**independent**
