Flip a coin 99 times. Comes up heads 99 times. What are the odds that it will land on tails on the 100th flip?

Answer 1

50%. Each flip is an independent event with no reliance on any previous flips.

Answer 2

1:2, fifty fifty, 1/2, 50%, how ever you want it said or put. The chances are as good as any that it could land on tails this time as heads, and since there are only two sides of a coin it would be (any listed above...). Just a coincidence that the first 99 times were all heads...

Answer 3

I'd say about zero. If it lands on heads 99 times in a row then statistically you are flipping a two-headed coin

Answer 4

odds are 50/50 ! how many times it is flipped previously does not change the odds of a single flip. the history of a single persons record of heads vs. tails against anothers record with the same amount of flips would lead credence to one flipper to get heads over another but without added varibles the odds do not change in the one flip heads or tails category.

Answer 5

1 in 100 times

Answer 6

Teachnically 50%, but there is a chance considering this event of 99% heads, maybe a 1% or 1/99 chance tails, or that is just a trick quarter, nickel, dime, etc

Answer 7

It is 50% that it will land on tails or heads in that spin. The odds of 100 tails in a row is very slim however.

Answer 8

3:1

Answer 9

1 in 2.
A coin flip is independent of whatever results happened before.

Answer 10

if you flip a coin 99 times and every single one is heads, you obviously have a double sided coin.

Answer 11

50/50
