Question

Which choice correctly describes this event? Every time I flip a coin / will get tails.

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

With each flip of the coin, the chance of it landing on tails is multiplied by half. Hence the chance of landing a consecutive series of tails decreases the more times you flip the coin, but never reaches 0.

A is incorrect as it is possible to land heads on any flip.

B is incorrect as there is always a possibility of landing tails on every flip.

C is incorrect as the chance of getting tails on every flip is small (and gets smaller) and hence cannot be considered to be likely.

Hence D is the answer.
