Lesson 4 of 20 · about 15 min

Independence

A coin lands heads three times in a row. Is tails now "due"? You'll test the gambler's fallacy with thousands of flips, learn what it really means for two events to be independent (and why that's not the same as "can't happen together"), and solve the birthday problem that surprises nearly everyone.
