Re: probability concept



The process of coin flipping is "memoryless," meaning that the outcome isn't
affected by previous outcomes. On the other hand, you might have a
two-headed coin in your case.

Given a fair coin, IF the observations are H,H,H,H,H,..., H for 1
million times, then the next toss still has equal probability of being
H or T.

However, we know that, asymptotically, H and T have the same
expectations, even though psychologically we might expect a T more than
a H (for the not so math oriented person).

What is the easiest way to convince the concept that this is not the
case?

Thanks
