Tell if the events are independent or dependent. Explain your reasoning.

Mr. O’Leary gets heads on a coin toss and then gets tails by tossing the same coin again.

For this question, it should be independent. Coin tossing is random, so naturally you can't really depend on anything while tossing the coin in order to get the outcome you want.
