If you flipped a fair coin 6 times and got 6 heads, what would be the probability of getting a head on the next toss? enter your answers as fractions.

I'm guessing it would 3/4 I might be wrong but that's what I think it would be.

If you toss the coin on the 6th attempt, the probability to get a head on the next attempt will be ½

If it is from the first attempt, to toss 7 heads in a row, the probability
= ½ × ½ × ½ × ½ × ½ × ½ × ½
= 1/128
