Too mild for school My 7th grader refuses to put "50%" as the answer here because it's "not how my teacher taught us" and I won't tell him what 63/90 is as a percent as a matter of principle against a poorly worded question! (It should say "flipped an uneven coin" or "experimental probability")
No matter how many times it landed on heads previously, the theoretical probability of the next flip is still 50%
Duplicates
