Suppose that you toss a coin 100 times and get 70 heads. If you continue tossing the coin, the estimated probability of heads overall should approach 50% if the coin is fair. Will you have to get more tails than heads in subsequent tosses to “correct” for the 70 heads you got in the first 100 tosses?
