How It Works
A fair coin flip has exactly 50% probability for heads and 50% for tails. This is called a Bernoulli trial - each flip is independent, meaning previous flips do not affect future results. Even if you flip heads 10 times in a row, the next flip still has 50/50 probability. This is the same principle used in many decision-making scenarios and is mathematically proven to be fair. For more random tools, try our Dice Roller or Random Number Generator.
