6. Explain what is wrong with the following statement: I flip a coin ten times, and record the results. Since each flip is as likely to produce a head as a tail, each particular string of heads and tails is just as likely as any other. Therefore, it is just as likely that I will flip heads ten times as it is that I will flip five heads and five tails. 7 Let's make a guess for how long we would have to wait to see all the air atoms in a balloon
