This question does not make sense!

If a coin is "flipped" and is not tossed it changes from a head to a tail or from a tail to a head.
If you therefore flip a coin 7 times, if it started as a head, it will finish as a tail/ If it started as a tail it will finish as a head. An odd number of flips means it "turns over" an even number and it stays the same way up,

Therefore if each coin is "flipped" seven times you will end up with 6 tails and 4 heads. Therefore to have 4 tails and 5 heads showing is IMPOSSIBLE.

Therefore I have to assume that you DO NOT MEAN "FLIPPED", but mean "tossed".

If you toss a coin it is a 50/50 probability that you get a head or a tail whether you have tossed it 7 times previously or 7 million times previously, the probability doesn't change.
