Re: tossing a coin is not a random process

[Shareef Siddeek]

In a local radio presentation, one mathematician has shown that tossing 
a coin is not always random. If one positions the head up when tossing, 
he/she will more likely end up with the head more than 50% (to be exact 
51%) of the time. What do the stat gurus say about this?  Cheers. Siddeek
