1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.839
A tempting story. A fair coin lands heads four times. Is

2
00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:04.886
tails now due?

3
00:00:05.286 --> 00:00:09.274
One fresh toss. For independent tosses of a fair coin, the

4
00:00:09.274 --> 00:00:12.175
next toss still has two equally likely outcomes.

5
00:00:12.575 --> 00:00:17.070
A whole sequence. Five specified heads in a row has probability

6
00:00:17.070 --> 00:00:20.339
one half multiplied five times: one in 32.

7
00:00:20.739 --> 00:00:25.069
Ask the right question. The probability of the next outcome differs

8
00:00:25.069 --> 00:00:29.005
from the probability of an entire sequence chosen in advance.
