Marge correctly guessed whether a fair coin turned up "heads" or "tails" on six consecutive flips. What is the probability that she will correctly guess the outcome of the next coin toss?

Answer:

1/2 = 50%

Explanation:

The seventh flip will not related to the first 6 flips because it is an independent event. The probability of guessing right turning heads or tails will still be 1/2 or 50% as it is an INDEPENDENT EVENT.

Hope this help you :)
