If you flip a penny 99 times and each time it came up heads then the chance of the penny coming up heads is ___

a. 1%

b. 50%

c. 25%

d. 100%

The chances of heads as a result when flipping a penny will always be 50%. Although heads came up 99 times in a row, the events that occurred before will not affect the probability of the current event in terms of a coin flip.

There are 1 out of 2 chances of it occurring or 1/2. Divide that and multiply it by 100% to get the probability in percent. So the answer will be 50%.

The answer is B.
