How to Calculate Coin Flipper
What is Coin Flipper?
A coin flipper simulates a fair coin toss with 50% probability of heads or tails. Despite the simplicity, coin flipping is the foundation of binary decisions, probability theory, and cryptographic key generation.
Step-by-Step Guide
- 1Each flip is independent — previous results do not affect future flips
- 2P(heads) = P(tails) = 0.5 (50%) for a fair coin
- 3Expected number of heads in n flips: n/2
- 4The longest known streak of heads on record: 10 consecutive heads occurs on average every 1,024 flips
