Final Exam Bonus Question

As I hope you know, our Final Exam is Thursday. Since there wasn't enough room on the paper for the bonus, it's given here.

Get it right, and earn 10 extra points on the final. ( hey, that's a lot of points, could change your grade.) Get it wrong, no problem, nothing to lose.  Email me v6math@gmail.com with your answer before Friday. Here it is:

 
 
 A coin is flipped and has landed on heads five flips in a row. What is the probability that the next flip will land on heads?
