You have a fair coin whose chances of landing Heads or Tails are equal.
The coin will be flipped a total of 6 times.
After 4 flips, we have 4 Tails i.e. each of the flips was a Tail.
Which of the following is true about the next flip?
A) There’s a higher probability it will be Heads
B) There’s a higher probability it will be Tails
c) There’s an equal probability it will be Heads or Tails
C)

The answer will always be (C), even if you get tails 1000 times in a raw
Flipping a coin at the Rift valley, more so pale Salgaa will give you a totally different result than flipping it near a true North location. Observe how a change of direction with each flip influences the outcome.
Chances are equal. 1/2
Interesting angle, do you have some real life examples?
It’s a fair coin. The first four results don’t affect the remaining two results. So the answer is (c)
Does the position of the coin before flipping (i.e whether head or tail up) determine the outcome?
Theoretically the probability ought to be half, that is C, but reality it is different. It depends on what you get from the first few flips, and the rest of it will follow that pattern. It is called quantum entanglement
It is a fair coin si it doesn’t matter
Of course it’s C
