The two events of picking a number between 1,000 and 5,000 and flipping a coin are independent events.
Picking a number between 1,000 and 5,000 has no effect on the outcome of flipping a coin. The probability of picking a number between 1,000 and 5,000 does not change if a coin is flipped. Similarly, flipping a coin does not affect the probability of picking a number between 1,000 and 5,000.
Therefore, the two events are independent of each other.
