Answer:

The statement does not make sense because propositions are not questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the coin is tossed 4 times,

Total possible outcomes= 16

We cannot determine whether HHHH or HTHT comes, since there is no certainity of combinations to come in those 2 particular scenario (given)

Any of 16 combination can be the result.

The following statement makes no sense.

​ This cannot be totally false but its very uncertain to get the given two combination.
