To determine the probability of getting tails on the next coin toss based on the results of previous coin tosses, you need to calculate the relative frequency of tails in the previous tosses.

In this case, out of the 100 total tosses, 18 were tails. So, the relative frequency of tails is calculated by dividing the number of tails by the total number of tosses: 18 / 100 = 0.18.

Therefore, based on the given results, the probability of the next flip being tails is 0.18, or 18%.

it will still be 50% because you have 1 favorable option out of 2. Past results wont affect the future outcome of this event.

Probability of getting tail = 1/2=0.5
