If you flip a coin, there is a 1/2 chance it will come up heads. If you flip it twice, there is a 2/2 chance you will get heads in one out of those two times -- right?

No. There is a 1/2 chance you will get heads the first time, and a 1/2 chance you will get heads the second time. Past results have no effect on the future results for a coin. |
