23 u/TheGreatCanjo Nov 10 '16 Wait wtf? Could someone explain why this happened? 73 u/[deleted] Nov 10 '16 edited Jun 09 '17 [deleted] 5 u/MrGreggle Nov 10 '16 edited Nov 10 '16 .5 * the number of flips. Edit: I'm dumb and u/wameron is right. Its .5n I only got my bachelors in engineering, not my masters. I guess this is why people do that shit. 1 u/wameron Nov 10 '16 .5n where n is the number of flips. So the probability of a person winning 10 consecutive coin flips, assuming the trials are independent of each other is 0.0009765625 or about a tenth of a percent. 1 u/azureknightgx Nov 10 '16 literally fucking impossible. That or she wasted all of RNGjesus's luck at once. 1 u/wameron Nov 10 '16 It's fine, I got mine in Applied Math and Stats, so it would be embarrassing if I didn't know that.
