How to use the Coin Flip
Flip a simple virtual coin when you need a quick two-way random choice. Fieldlet tracks the current session's Heads and Tails totals.
Simulate a fair two-sided coin for simple choices, probability demonstrations, and game setup. Each flip is independent, and a multi-flip summary makes short runs easy to inspect.
The selection runs in the browser and the entered list is not sent to Fieldlet. Agree on eligibility and reroll rules before using randomness with a group.
Press Flip coin for a new independent outcome.
Each flip has an equal Heads or Tails probability in the tool.
Session totals remain visible until you reset the tool or leave the page.

Worked examples
Flip ten times for a probability lesson
Scenario: A class runs ten simulated flips and sees six heads and four tails.
Result: Heads occurred 60% in that short sample, although each individual flip still had a 50% chance.
The observed proportion can differ from one half in a small run. The generator gives each flip the same independent binary probability.
How the result is produced
The browser random source is mapped to one of two outcomes. Independence means the previous result is not used to adjust the next one, so streaks are allowed.
Heads probability = 1/2
Tails probability = 1/2
Observed counts approach the expected proportion only over many trials
Expected probability versus observed results
A fair process gives heads a one-half probability on each flip, but a short sample can be uneven. The history and summary describe what happened in that run; they do not force the next flip to compensate.
Treat each flip as independent.
Expect ordinary short streaks.
Use many trials when demonstrating long-run proportions.
Limitations and common mistakes
This simulation is not a certified random process for wagering or regulated use.
A small number of flips should not be expected to contain equal totals.
Common questions
Is each flip independent?
Yes. Previous flips do not alter the probability of the next result.
Does heads become more likely after several tails?
No. With independent flips, the next outcome remains 50–50 regardless of the preceding streak.
