What is the chance of a coin landing on the head?


Everyone has heard that tossing a coin gives fair results as it has a 50-50 chance of hitting the target on both sides.

This is not entirely true, check the facts!

It's not a 50% chance that a coin will fall on the head.

If the coin rises in the first place, it will most likely fall in the head.

Students at Stanford University recorded thousands of coin tosses with high-speed cameras and discovered a 51% chance that it would hit the head.

There are many conditions that affect the outcome of a coin flip, these are the force, speed and angle of rotation, the height of the coin relative to the ground, and which side of the uptrend to initiate.

These changes are significant enough to prevent the probability of fifty.

What does research tell us ...

Researchers have shown that coin tosses are not accidental;

If each coin has the exact same initial conditions and exactly the same force, its rotation will produce an even result of hitting the head or tipping.

I wonder what is the chance of a coin landing on it?

It can't be impossible, right?
