Question

A perfectly balanced coin is tossed 6 times and tails appears on all six tosses. Then, on the seventh trial

Answer 1

The probability of getting tails on a coin toss is always 0.5, regardless of previous outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

When tossing a perfectly balanced coin, the probability of getting tails on each toss is 0.5. Therefore, the probability of getting tails on six consecutive tosses is (0.5)^6 = 0.0156, or 1.56%. On the seventh trial, the probability of getting tails is still 0.5, just like any other coin toss. The outcome of previous tosses does not affect the outcome of future tosses.
