in this situation, it is similar to a coin flip, so think about flipping a 2 sided chip, one side colored yellow the other blue, flipping the chip will result in a 50/50 chance for it to land on either side, so no matter how many times you flip it it will always be a 1/2 chance of it being on one of the sides
