For an in-class demonstration, a teacher flips a fair coin 5 times, and each of the 5 times it lands on heads. a student argues that it's more likely to land on tails on the next flip. what, if anything, is incorrect about the student's logic?
a.
the student's logic is incorrect; since a coin being flipped 5 times is 5 independent events, the probability of the next flip landing on heads is still 1/2.
b.
the student's logic is incorrect; since a coin being flipped 5 times is 5 dependent events, the probability of the next flip landing on heads is still 1/2
c.
there is nothing wrong with the student's logic; because a coin being flipped 5 times is 5 independent events, the probability the next flip will land on heads is affected by the previous outcomes.
d.
there is nothing wrong with the student's logic; because a coin being flipped 5 times is 5 dependent events, the probability the next flip will land on heads is affected by the previous outcomes.
