Question
if you flip a coin twelve times and all twelve flips end up heads, what can be said about the probability of the coin coming up tails on the next flip? the same probability of all previous tosses nearly 0% nearly 100% tails
Each coin flip is an independent event. The outcome of previous flips (in this case, 12 heads) does not affect the probability of the next flip. A fair coin has two possible outcomes (heads or tails), so the probability of getting tails on any single flip is always \( \frac{1}{2} \) (or 50%), regardless of past results.
