Question

You fllp a fair coln 7 times in a row. Let X be the number of heads that come up. Which of the following cannot be a

possible value of X?
2
0
7
16

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

Given

A coin

`n = 7` --- Number of flips

`x \to heads`

Required

Which can't be the value of x

From the question, we understand that the coin was flipped 7 times.

This means that, the highest occurrence of head is:

`x = 7`

And the list is:

`x = 0`

So, the range of x is:

`x = \{0,1,2,....,7\}`

In the above range, only (16) is out of range.

Hence:

`x \\e 16` --- Number of heads can't be 16
