I'm curious if a coin toss is really random. When a coin is flipped, does it have an equal chance of landing on heads or tails? Or is there some bias?

One often-neglected scenario is the coin landing on its side. While this might seem improbable, it's a theoretical outcome that must be acknowledged.

The probability of a coin landing on heads or tails is indeed equal. This fundamental principle of probability holds true under normal circumstances.

Some might argue that a coin landing on its side is virtually impossible due to the design and weight distribution. However, mathematically, it still counts as a potential result.

Yet, there's a common misconception that this equality applies to all possible outcomes of a coin toss. This notion, however, overlooks a crucial detail.
