With a fair coin, the outcomes in different tosses are statistically independent and the probability of getting heads on a single toss is exactly ( one in two ).

Consider the following two probabilities, assuming a fair coin:

In their experiment, Roney and Trick told participants that they were betting on either two blocks of six coin tosses, or on two blocks of seven coin tosses.

For example, specifying the outcome of a fair coin flip ( two equally likely outcomes ) provides less information ( lower entropy ) than specifying the outcome from a roll of a ( six equally likely outcomes ).

The entropy is maximized at 1 bit per trial when the two possible outcomes are equally probable, as in an unbiased coin toss.

A series of two fair coin tosses has an entropy of two bits.

A series of coin tosses with a fair coin has one bit of entropy, since there are two possible states, each of which is independent of the others.

A string of coin tosses with a coin with two heads and no tails has zero entropy, since the coin will always come up heads, and the result can always be predicted.
