Hello
The coin below is a fair coin and I want to flip it. What do you call? or ?
Flip the coin above.
What was the probability that you'd be able to guess the coin flip above correctly? If the coin is fair, it's 50%, right? That means that the result is as likely to show up as .
But wait... So far, (flip the coin above!)% of the flips resulted in , while (flip the coin above!)% of the flips resulted in .
That's because you only flipped the coin once. If you flip the coin a whole lot more, the split of the results between and will converge to the expected 50% / 50% split:
Tally after 0 flips:
| Heads | Tails |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 |
| 0.00% | 0.00% |
