Any Streak Calculator
Any streak means just that. ANY.
Say a fair coin where Heads and Tails probability of showing is exactly the same. 50%.
Two kinds of outcomes and their total probability = 100%.
That is what this calculator can provide accurate results for.
Another example. A standard six-sided Die (1d6) where all 6 faces have the
same equal probability of showing face up after a random roll.(1 chance in 6)
And the sum of all the probabilities = 100%.
Popular streak (run) questions and answers.
Q1 and Q2 questions have p(Heads) and p(Tails) = 1/2 (50%)
