Jake tosses a coin and rolls a six-sided die.
All of the following are possible outcomes EXCEPT:
Heads, Five
Tails, Three
Tails, One
Heads, Seven
heads,seven, thank you
Really ??
The statement "Heads, Seven" is not a possible outcome because a coin toss can only result in either heads or tails, and a six-sided die can only result in numbers 1 to 6.
To determine which of the given outcomes is not possible, we need to understand the probability of each event.
When tossing a fair coin, there are two possible outcomes: heads or tails. So, the first two options, "Heads, Five" and "Tails, Three," are both possibilities since we are combining the coin toss and die roll separately.
Similarly, when rolling a six-sided die, there are six possible outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Therefore, the third option, "Tails, One," is also a possibility since it combines the coin toss and a valid die roll.
However, the fourth option, "Heads, Seven," is not a possible outcome. When rolling a six-sided die, the highest number that can be obtained is 6. Therefore, it is impossible to roll a seven.
In conclusion, the correct answer is: "Heads, Seven" is NOT a possible outcome.
