Probability of past instance

688 viewsMathematicsOther

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

IMO it depends on the activity, something like making free throws, you can get into a rhythm and keep feeling out each shot so its as close as possible. Coin toss though? You have much less, if any control over the out come of that so each time is a 50/50.
