Ok so maybe it's not the science of the math but I like tabloid catchy type titles.

I looked online and so far my searches only lead me to books to buy. I have nothing against a purchase but I hate waiting. Does anyone know of a site where you can ask and get a relatively immediate answer?

I'm assuming that if I flip a coin 100 times the odds are pretty good it won't land on heads 50 times and tails 50 times but over the course of time it will average out to 50%

What if though I was flipping multiple coins and was only focused on the collective groups of coins being more heads or more tails not specifically heads or tails?

You're talking about a binomial distribution in the most general sense. There is an array of binomial calculators on the web.
