(i) Let \(F\) be the event that a person is female, and \(W\) be the event that a person watches 'Kops are Kids'.

\(P(F) = \frac{12}{30} = 0.4\)

\(P(W) = \frac{16}{30} = 0.533\)

\(P(F \cap W') = \frac{5}{30} = 0.167\)

Using the formula for the union of two events:

\(P(F \cup W) = P(F) + P(W) - P(F \cap W')\)

\(P(F \cup W) = \frac{12}{30} + \frac{16}{30} - \frac{5}{30} = \frac{5}{6} = 0.833\)

(ii) Let \(M\) be the event that a person is male.

\(P(M) = \frac{18}{30} = 0.6\)

\(P(W) = \frac{16}{30} = 0.533\)

\(P(M \cap W) = \frac{13}{30} = 0.433\)

Check independence by comparing \(P(M \cap W)\) and \(P(M) \times P(W)\):

\(P(M) \times P(W) = \frac{18}{30} \times \frac{16}{30} = \frac{8}{25} = 0.32\)

Since \(P(M \cap W) \neq P(M) \times P(W)\), the events are not independent.
