A coin toss is fair when both sides have an equal chance of winning. Imagine a coin that always lands on heads no matter how you flip it, that’s unfair! A fair coin has the same weight and shape on both sides, so it can land on either side equally often.
Examples
- A coin that lands on heads every time is unfair
- A brand-new coin is usually fair
- A bent coin might favor one side
