(i) A coin is tossed thrice and all the eight outcomes are assumed equally likely. State whether events A and B are independent if, A= the first throw results in head, B= the last throw results in tail (ii) A coin is tossed thrice and all the eight outcomes are assumed equally likely. State whether events A and B are independent if, A= the number of heads is odd, B= the number of tails is odd
