A little confused about probability
| it goes up I believe
| If you look at the set as a whole it goes up, but if you look at one sample the probability of that exact sample being what you want remains 50% because each member of this specific set is independent on the result of the others
| Ppl still die to pasticide poisioning a few times a year, you dont see antone panikin over that becouse its so unlikly, for argument sake lets say 8 ppl will die this year rather than 4 last year you could say that the probability of dying to past.poisining doubled however thats a subjective view.
Probability is static in the case of flipping a coin, but knowing the prob you can make the decision that the more you flip the better the chance of seeing what you want one more time.

| Let's assume that I flip a coin three times. Is a chance that it's gonna be heads at least once still 50% overall, or does it actually go up to 87.5% based on the number of possible outcomes (only 1 situation out of 8 results in all tails)?
