Imagine this. You have $0.5 in your pocket. What would you do? You can not decide between getting a cold drink and getting an ice cream on this hot summer day. No matter how hard you try, you can not decide between these decisions. An idea starts to form in your head. The coin that could get you one of these also has another function. It could be used as a decision making mechanism. You take your coin out of your pocket, heads for the cold drink, tails for the ice cream. You flip the coin, get your ice cream and keep enjoying your summer day.

But what if you do not have a coin with you? Worry not, our flip a coin simulator is always with you as long as you have your phone with you. With our flip the coin tool, you can flip a coin with the press of a button. It does not only flip a coin for you, but it also keeps the statistics of your flips, so you can track how the odds align towards heads or tails. Not only is this a great tool for making decisions, it is also a great time saver. Do not let your time go to waste with confusion of deciding between a thing and another thing. Here are some cases that a coin flipper would be of use to you:

SOME USE CASES OF COIN TOSS

• In deciding between two things.
• In settling a dispute with your friend.
• In deciding who will do what.
• In deciding what team will start the game.
• In learning statistics and probability.

These use cases are super cool, but what about the history? What history lies behind the famous coin flip? Here is a short history lesson:

Back in the Roman Empire, the coin toss was known by its original name, "heads or ships." Recently, statistics and probability have been linked to it. At Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, in 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright flipped a coin to choose who would make the first flight in history. A coin flip is said to have determined the name of Portland, Oregon. These days, the team with the ball is decided by a coin toss in various sports.

We would also like to inform you about how you can learn various statistics and probability concepts, just by using a coin toss, learning this concept may also save some frustration when you land heads or tails for 10 consecutive times:

Six times out of ten, or 60% of the time, when a coin is flipped, it lands on heads. 57 times out of 100 times, or 57% of the time, a coin landed on heads when it was flipped 100 times. Five forty-three times out of a thousand flips, or 54.3% of the time, a coin lands on heads.

This concept is called relative frequency. The likelihood of landing on heads 50% of the time, or half of the time, increases with the number of flips. So next time, you flip the coin and get heads for 10 times in a row, just keep flipping the coin, and you will see the odds are getting even between heads and tails the more you flip.

Oh, and one last thing to note:
We do not recommend making any life-changing decisions with this tool, keep it simple and fun.

Happy coin flips!
