I would say the probability of any particualr flip remains the same whether you flip it 1 or one thousand times.

puertoricangirl · Answer

is it 50/50 percent  chance in each flip

agent0smith · Answer

It's like flipping a coin.

What's the chance of landing heads?

wolf1728 · Answer

yes you are correct puertoricangirl

puertoricangirl · Answer

50

agent0smith · Answer

But make sure you write it correctly, as either 1/2 or 0.5

wolf1728 · Answer

specifically the probability would'nt be 50

wolf1728 · Answer

probability is always expressed as a number between 0 and 1

puertoricangirl · Answer

so if there is 20th flip that means is ....... 10/20 ?

wolf1728 · Answer

no the probability remains the same for every flip

wolf1728 · Answer

Yes 10/20 does equal 1/2 but you'd still want to express it as simply as possible.

wolf1728 · Answer

You could say the probability is 137/274 but that is NOT a good way to say it
