How many times would you expect the coin to land on heads?

Statistics. Based on the calculations we just did, you expect that if you toss a coin 10 times, it will land on heads 50\% of the time. If you test this with our Coin Flip game, you’ll see that is not always the case.

Why is throwing 92 heads in a row not surprising?

He says, “… each individual coin spun individually is as likely to come down heads as tails and therefore should cause no surprise each individual time it does.” In the end 92 heads are thrown without a single tail, when the characters are interrupted.

How many times can a coin land heads in a row?

Is there a way to calculate on average, the maximum amount of times we can expect a coin to land heads during 1,000 flips? So the answer (and formula if one exists) I am looking for would be something like: during 1,000 flips we can expect a maximum run of 12 heads in a row.

What is the probability of a coin coming up with heads?

If the coin is fair, then the probability that it comes up heads on any given flip is 1/2, regardless of how many heads and tails you have previously obtained.

What is the probability of landing on heads after 1 million flips?

An alternative interpretation of the question is the probability of landing on heads at least once after 1 million flips. To find this, one can simply subtract the probability of the coin never landing on heads (i.e. the probability of landing on tails a million times in a row) from 1.

How many times can you flip a coin in a second?

If the latter, very low, like one chance in 2 times 2 1000 times. Which is a very large number, about 10^300. There haven’t been that many nanoseconds since the Big Bang, so even if you’d started back then, flipping a billion coins a second, it would not have happened yet, to a certainty of one part in many trillions.
