Suppose you toss a fair coin twenty-six times and each time you observe heads (i.e., 26 heads in a row). What is the probability of heads on your next toss?

The probability of getting heads on your next toss of a fair coin is still 0.5 or 50%. Each coin toss is an independent event, and the outcome of previous tosses does not affect the probability of the next toss. Regardless of whether you have observed 26 heads in a row or any other sequence of outcomes, the probability of getting heads or tails on the next toss remains the same.
