I can’t tell if you’re joking.
If you have a different way of calculating it then show me. Show me your math of 1 flip.
If it’s a fair coin, it’s 50/50. If it’s weighted to not be fair, then it’s some other numbers. If it comes up heads 80 percent of the time and tails 20, on average, then it’s not 50/50, it’s 80/20.
This is just a hypothetical of course, I’m not even sure if it’s possible to “weight a coin” like this, but assuming it is for the sake of discussion, such a coin would not be 50/50, it would be 80/20
You didn’t show me the calculations for 1 flip. Are you guessing or something?
What calculations are necessary? What are you talking about?
Your calculations of landing on heads or tails for 1 flip. Show me your math arriving at 50% chance for each side.
Why? A fair coin would have 50% chance, you’ve already done the math, I’m not disagreeing with you about fair coins. Why do you want to see extremely simple math to explain something we both agree on, and which you’ve already done the math for?
Fair coins are 50/50, I don’t need to do any math on that because we agree on that, do you understand that? We agree about fair coins.
So the math only considers 1 flip and 2 possible outcomes?
The simplified math for any chance outcome like a coin flip or a dice roll, specifically where the options are not weighted, not biased, and fully fair, can be done like that, yes. As soon as any option is weighted to occur more or less often, that’s not really applicable any more.
But 50/50 specifically means a fair coin for 1 flip? How could a coin have 50/50 and not be a fair coin?
You’re not talking about things I’ve said anymore.
Is it possible for an unfair coin to have 50/50 for 1 flip?
I have no idea, you tell me. I don’t know why you’re asking these questions, they have nothing to do with what I’ve been saying
So you don’t know if an unfair coin can have a 50/50 chance of landing on heads or tails?
It’s possible there’s some way to set up some apparatus that involves an “unfair coin” and flip it in a controlled way so that, regardless of the fact that it’s generally unfair, it’s being somehow flipped in a special way that makes it fair, idk. I don’t really know why you’re talking about it.
It is not possible for an unfair coin to have a 50/50 chance of landing on either heads or tails. That makes your math bunk.
But earlier you said
50/50 is due to the fact that there is 2 possible outcomes…rigged coin or not.
So before, you’re saying rigged or not it’s 50/50, and now you’re saying if it is rigged it’s impossible to be 50/50, fascinating.
I said that the only thing considered is 1 flip and 2 possible outcomes, which makes it 50/50. It does not matter if it is weighted or not because that is not what is being calculated and not what “50/50” means. Your understanding of "50/50"is seriously flawed.
And yours is explicitly inconsistent. Rigged coins are 50/50, but rigged coins can never be 50/50? Which one is it? It can’t be both.
Rigged coins are 50/50 just like red coins are 50/50 and green coins are 50/50. Red and green don’t have anything to do with 1 flip and 2 possible outcomes.
