Explanation / Answer

A peculiar coin is tossed two time.

The first toss results in Heads with probability 1/2.

Here it is also mentioned that the second toss always yields the same results as the first toss.

From the above condition we can say that events A (Heads in the first toss) and event B (Heads in the second toss) are dependent.

Answer: No, they are dependent.
