The probability of getting a heads will always be 50/50 no matter how many heads you get before that.

The probability of "heads" on the next (5th) flip of this coin will be 1/2.

What is probability?

The chances of an event occurring are defined by probability. Probability has several uses in games, in business to create probability-based forecasts,

"Heads" is the result of the latest flip and the preceding four flips. The total sample space for the heads.

P(A^B)=(1/2)^5

The preceding four flips in a row all resulted in "heads."

P(B)=(1/2)^4

The probability that the 5th flip lands head is;

⇒P(A^B)/p(B)= (1/2)⁵/(1/2)⁴

⇒P(A^B)/p(B)= 1/2

Hence, the probability of "heads" on the next (5th) flip of this coin will be 1/2.
