The Not so Random Coin Toss


While searching up some information about chance and probability, I came across this interesting article that gives a different side to the concept of flipping a coin. It states that a coin toss may not be not as fair as once thought. Apparently, the randomness is due to the fact that when a human flips a coin, it lands randomly because of the way in which it was tossed. The article can be found at the following link: The Not so Random Coin Toss. It really makes you think about how fair a coin toss really is.

Thanks!
