Question

Can someone please help me with this question?A student claims that if a coin is tossed and comes up heads 5 times in a row, then, according to the law of averages, the probability of tails on the next toss is greater than the probability of heads. What is your reply?

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting tails is still the same as the probability of getting heads.  However, the probability of getting 6 heads in a row is lower than the probability of getting tails just once.
