Answer: 1/2 It has a equal chance of landing on either side.

Step-by-step explanation: Just because it landed on black more times than white that doesn't mean it will land on black the next time you flip it

okay lets say im flipping a coin i flip it 100 times it landed on heads 70 times and tails 30 times just because it flipped on heads more times it doesn't mean it will flip on heads again.
