I'm wondering about the possibilities of a coin landing on the same side when tossed. Is there a limit to how many consecutive times it can land on the same side? How many times can a coin land on the same side?

A fair coin is designed to provide an equal probability of landing on heads or tails.

When tossed, each outcome has a 50% chance of occurring.

The likelihood of achieving a specific sequence of outcomes, however, diminishes with each additional toss.

For instance, the probability of a coin landing on the same side ten consecutive times is quite low.

Assuming a fair coin, the odds of this happening are calculated as 1 in 1,021.
