In a hypothetical scenario,
if Lebron James made 10 successful shots in the same spot consecutively, what is the probability that his 11 shot is successful? Is it the same probability as the 1st? or did any of his prior shots affect his 11th throw?
​
What about in the instance of coin toss, similar scenario,
if i throw head for 10 times, what is the probability that i will get another head in the 11th time?
​
Thanks

The odds of flipping a coin and getting heads are 50/50.
The odds of flipping a coin 10 times in a row and getting heads 10 times in a row are 0.1%.
The odds of getting heads on the 11th flip are 50/50. Because the odds of flipping a coin and getting heads are 50/50, right?
The odds of flipping a coin 11 times in a row and getting heads 11 times in a row are 0.05%.
The odds of flipping *once* have nothing to do with the odds of flipping a specific result over and over and over.
