Question

suppose you flip a coin 100 times and get 87 heads and 13 tails. Based on these results, what is the probability that the next flip results in a head?
If I have to answer in a decimal, isn't it .87?

Answer 1

Answer: 1/2

Each flip has an independent probability of 1/2
I dont care if the first 1,000 flips are all heads.

The chance the 1,001 st flip is a head is still 1/2.

Answer 2

50:50

Answer 3

0.50

Answer 4

1/2 = 0.50
