If a fair coin is tossed nine times and lands heads on all nine tosses, does this determine the tenth toss is more likely to lands heads or tails?
No, the tenth toss is independent of the others and the classical probability will be 1/2 on the tenth toss. The coin doesn’t have a memory that it landed heads on nine consecutive tosses.
