A die is thrown once. If E represents the event ‘the number obtained on the die is a multiple of 3’ and F represents the event ‘the number obtained on the die is even’, then tell whether the events E and F are independent.
If the value of \( \cos \alpha \) is \( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \), then \( A + A = I \), where \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} \sin\alpha & -\cos\alpha \\ \cos\alpha & \sin\alpha \end{bmatrix}. \]
