flip it 25 times, record it in a table, and do the calculations to show that the probability of getting heads or tails was 50:50.
Hi Petrophysics1,
As we discovered the probabilty is 50/50 for each time. Each flip is completely independant of the previous toss. You would think if you tossed it enough times it would average out to 50/50, but it does not have to. You really would of blown your profs mind it all 25 tosses were tails.
What you see is what you get as you say. That is why arguments from incredulty are fallicious. Because improbabilty does not mean impossible. imo
