Question

Does chance actually exist for a single case? Even for a coin, what does it mean to say that there is a 50% chance that the next coin toss will land on heads?

Someone might say that this means that if one were to throw this coin an infinite number of times, it’ll land on heads half the time. But this is a property of a long running series of tosses. And this is atleast somewhat testable with respect to a large series of tosses. One can throw it many times and simply calculate the frequency.

Answer 1

The chance of a coin landing on heads is always 50%. Each coin toss has a 50% chance of landing on heads, regardless of previous outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The chance of a coin landing on heads is always 50%. This means that in the long run, if you were to flip the coin many times, it would land on heads approximately half the time. However, this probability does not guarantee that in a single toss, the outcome will be heads.

Each time you toss the coin, the chance of it landing on heads is still 50%. So even if you get heads twice in a row or several times in a row, it does not change the probability of getting heads in the next toss.
