Statement one: I have flipped an unbiased coin three times and got heads, it is more likely to get tails the next time I flip it. The above statement is incorrect. If you flip a coin, the probability of getting a head is one half. That means the probability of getting a tail is still a half. The probability of getting a head and a tail at the same time in a single flip is zero. When flipping a coin the outcomes of events are independent of each other. This means that if you flip an unbiased coin three times and got three heads consecutively, the probability of getting a tail in the fourth flip remains a half (Gan, 2009).
