Joe flips the disc shown below 15 times:

A disc with two layers is shown. The top layer is shaded in a darker shade of gray, and the lower section of the disc is white.

What is the probability that the 16th flip will result in the disc landing white side up?

Whatever the number of times you flip the disc, as long as the disc has uniformly distributed mass throughout the body, then

The probability will always be 50%
