Imagine a coin that never gets tired, it always lands on heads or tails with equal chances. That’s what makes it fair. Even if you flip it many times, the coin doesn’t remember past flips, so each one stays just as fair.
How Coins Work
A fair coin has two sides: heads and tails. Each side has a 50% chance of landing face up, no matter how many times you flip it. It’s like having a friend who always picks randomly between two choices, they never favor one option over the other.
Why It Stays Fair
Every time you flip a coin, it doesn’t know what happened before. So even after 100 flips, the next flip still has an equal chance of being heads or tails.
Examples
- When you flip a coin, it's like asking your friend to randomly choose between two options, and they always pick fairly.
- Even after flipping a fair coin ten times and getting heads nine times, the next flip still has an equal chance of being heads or tails.
- Fair coins are used in games to make sure no one gets an unfair advantage.
