question

The algorithm below is used to simulate the results of flipping a coin 4 times. Consider the goal of determining Whether the simulation resulted in an equal number of heads and tails.

   Step l : Initialize the variables heads_counter and f1ip_counter to 0.
   Step 2 : A variable coin_f1ip is randomly assigned a value of either 0 or l.
   If coin_f1ip has the value 0, the coin flip result is heads, so
  heads_counter is incremented by 1.
   Step 3 : Increment the value of f1ip_counter by l.
   Step 4 : Repeat steps 2 and 3 until f1ip_counter equals 4.

 Following execution of the algorithm, which of the following expressions indicates that the simulation resulted in an equal number of heads and tails?

choices

  1. coin_f1ip = 1
  2. flip_counter = 1
  3. flip_counter = 2
  4. heads_counter = 2
