Detailed Solution

(i) Here, all the possible events are (H, H); (H, T); (T, H), and (T, T)

We know that, P(E) = (Number of favorable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes)

So, P (getting two heads) = 1/4

and, P (getting one of each) = 2/4 = 1/2

Therefore, the given statement is incorrect.

(ii) This is true since the probability of both events is equal.
