Homework Statement
If you flip 1 quarter 100 times what are the odds all 100 flips would land heads?
My friend argues that it would be a 50% chance since each individual flip has a 50% chance of being heads.

The Attempt at a Solution
I tried saying that its 50% chance per flip but it decreases by (0.50) ^ x each flip. x being the number of flips. Is there anyone out there who can help me explain this to him? His platform is that flipping 1 coin 100 times is different from flipping 100 coins 1 time. The probability of each should be the same though right?
