Question

when flipping a fair coin 4 times in a row, which outcome is more likely: HTHT or HHHH? Justify.

Answer 1

Both outcomes have the same probability of happening. This is because of the fact that the coin has a 50% probability of landing on heads, AND a 50% probability of landing on tails. So, this means that HHHH is just as likely to happen as HTHT.
