Probability of Independent Events

Question 2 of 10 • CA-Common Core Math II B

What type of compound event is flipping a coin 6 times?

Answer

The student is incorrect.

Flipping a coin 6 times is 6 independent events.

Independent events are events in which the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another.

The probability of the next flip landing on heads is still one-half.
