Question

Suppose you just flipped a fair coin 8 times in a row and you got heads each time! What is the probability that the next coin flip will result in a heads? Write answer as a decimal and round to 1 place after the decimal point.

Answer 1

Answer)

Tossing a fair coin is an independent event

As no matter what we will always have two outcomes

Heads or tails

And probability is given by favorable/total

Total = 2 (heads or tails)

Favorable = 1 (heads)

Probability = 1/2 = 0.5
