Answer:Yes (A can occur when B occurs)

Step-by-step explanation: Independent events are events that are not determined by the occurrence of another. In this case EVENT A CAN OCCUR AS EVENT B OCCURS.

Justification: Landing on tails after tossing a coin and landing on a Five (5) after rolling the DIE Landing on Six (6) after rolling a DIE and landing on tails after tossing a coin.
