Question

sample response: the students logic is incorrect. a coin being flipped 6 times is 6 independent events because the outcome of one flip of the coin does not affect the outcome of another flip. the probability of the next flip landing on heads is still 1/2. what type of compound event is flipping a coin 6 times? the student is incorrect. flipping a coin 6 times is 6 independent events. independent events are events in which the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another. the probability of the next flip landing on heads is still one - half.

Explanation:

When flipping a coin, each flip is an independent event. The outcome of one flip (heads or tails) has no impact on the outcome of subsequent flips. So, flipping a coin 6 times consists of 6 independent events.

Answer:

Flipping a coin 6 times is 6 independent events.
