*** FAIR COIN TOSSING QUESTION ??? ***
If I toss a fair coin 1000 times and the fist 700 tosses reveal
400 heads and 300 tails what would I expect from the last 300 tosses ?
a) approx 150 heads + 150 tails
bringing total heads to 550 and total tails to 450 ?
b) approx 100 heads + 200 tails
bringing total heads to 500 and total tails to 500 ?
c) somthing else ?
Does anyone know the answer ?
