Since it was a biology course, I would it would be important to know who's
head was being tossed.

Hi all,

(This is way off topic so please delete it now if you are not interested)

My wife just took a biology test where one of the questions was:
   "What is the probability of tossing 6 heads in a row out of 20 coin
tosses?"

I believe that the number of tosses (20) doesn't matter.

Thanks,
Jeff
