Question

Ginny flipped a fair coin three times, and tails came up each time. Ginny wants to flip the coin again. What is the probability of getting heads in the next coin flip?

a) 1/2
b) 1/4
c) 3/4
d) 1/8

Answer 1

The probability of getting heads in the next coin flip is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given, Ginny has flipped a fair coin three times and each time tails came up. The probability of getting heads in the next coin flip is the same as the probability of getting heads on any individual coin flip, which is 1/2 or Option A. The previous coin flips do not affect the outcome of the next flip since each flip is independent.
