Answer to Question #302526 in Statistics and Probability for Jay

Question

If two coins are tossed, which is not a possible value of the random variable for the number of heads?

Answer 1

we define the sample space as S = {HH, HT, TH, TT}

Let h be the random variables representing the number of heads that occur. The possible values of h are 0, 1, 2.

Thus all real numbers except the values 0, 1, 2 are not a possible value of the random variable for the number of heads.
