I tossed a coin and got tails three in a row.
What does this mean?
Probability?
Context: outside while doing it, light breeze

I'd contact your local university/college and ask to speak to a mathematician. There is trickery afoot

Well we have to factor in the slight breeze. Observationally we know while it was breezy you got three heads in a row. This tells us two things, one is that you're much less likely to get heads without a breeze. And two, consequentially, means that your odds of getting three heads in a row is actually 1/3, thanks to the breeze

Quoted By:

The probability of it happening is 1. It's a concluded event.

If you flip the coin three more times, the probability of getting three tails in a row is (1/2)^3=1/8

The location and breeze do not affect the outcome
