Answer:

It is states that the coin is fair which means that the outcome of a toss of coin babis independent of the rest of outcomes of other tossess regardless of being head or tail.This question describes the classic “gambler’s fallacy which states the false notion that a string of one type of outcome (of a random process) means that the opposite outcome is “overdue” and therefore more likely to occur on subsequent trials.

The probability of getting a head or tail on the next toss will be 1/2 as the coin toss will have no relation to the past outcomes. Each toss of a coin will remain independent
