Question:
A fair coin is tossed twice. Consider the sample space S = {HH, HT, TH, TT} of equally likely simple events. We are interested in the following events:

E3 = a tail on the second toss
E4 = a head on the second toss
For each pair of events, discuss whether they are independent and whether they are mutually exclusive.
(A) E1 and E4
