Question -

Let X represent the difference between the number of heads and the number of tails obtained when a coin is tossed 6 times. What are possible values of X?



Answer -

Given a coin is tossed6 times.

X represents thedifference between the number of heads and the number of tails.

 X (6H, 0T) =|6-0| = 6

X (5H, 1T) = |5-1| = 4

X (4H, 2T) = |4-2| = 2

X (3H, 3T) = |3-3| = 0

X (2H, 4T) = |2-4| = 2

X (1H, 5T) = |1-5| = 4

X (0H, 6T) = |0-6| = 6

Therefore, X is afunction on sample space whose range is {0, 2, 4, 6}.

Thus, X is a randomvariable which can take the values 0, 2, 4 or 6.
