Provide solution for RD Sharma maths class 12 chapter 31 Mean and Variance of a Random Variable exercise 31.1 question 26 maths textbook solution
Answer: X can take values -4, -2, 0, 2, 4 or 6
Hint: use probability concept
Given: Let X represent the difference between the no. of heads and the no. of tails when a coil is tossed 6 times. What are the possible values of X?
Solution: Since X represents the difference between some heads and number of tails when a coin is tossed 6 times.
As the coin is tossed 6 times following outcome are possible
Let H denoted heads and T denotes tails.
Outcomes: 6H 0T (6 Heads 0 tails), 5H 1T, 4H 2T, 3H 3T, 2H 4T and 1H 5T
∴ Difference can be |6-0|,|5- 1|, |4-2|,|3-3| ,| 2-4| and |1-5|
∴X can take value 0, 2, 4 & 6
