Let X be the difference between the number of heads and number of tails for a cointossed n times. We may observe anywhere from 0 to n heads, where X = −n or X = nrespectively. If we observe n − 1 heads and therefore 1 tail, X = (n − 1) − 1 = n − 2.If we observe n − 1 tails and 1 head, X = 1 − (n − 1) = −(n − 2). If n is even and weobserve the same number of heads and tails, X = 0. If n is even and we observen2+ 1heads andn2− 1 tails, X = 2. If n is even, X = 0, ±2, ±4, . . . , ±(n − 2), ±n or, equivalently,X = n − 2i, i = 0, 1, . . . , n. If n is odd, X = ±1, ±3, . . . , ±(n − 2), ±n or, equivalently,X = n − 2i, i = 0, 1, . . . , n. Therefore X = n − 2i, i = 0, 1, . . . , n.7.a. The wording of this question is unclear. The possible values for the maximum rollbetween the two actual rolls are 1,2,3,4,5 or 6. The maximum roll possible is (6,6).b. Similar to part (a), 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 vs. (1,1).c. 2, 3, . . . , 12d. 0, ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±513.
