This is kinda confusing....

If there are 100 coins and 60 coins are heads, what is the probability of the next coin being heads?

It's really simple, since there are 2 sides to a coin you have a 50-50 chance of landing on heads and a 50-50 chance of landing on tails so,

The probability of the next coin being heads is 50% even though 60 of the coins are already heads.

Hope this helps :)
