math.Random isn't working right

I'm trying to simulate a coin flip using the code below.

public class Coin
{
    public static double result;
        int[] count = new count[2];

    public static void flip()
    {       
        result = Math.random();
    }

        public static boolean isHeads()
        {
        if (result == 0.0)
        {
                    count[0]++;
            return false;
        }

        else
        {
                    count[1]++;
            return true;
        }
        }

        public static void main(String[] args)
        {
             flip();
             isHeads();
             System.out.println(count[0]);
             System.out.println(count[1]);
        }
}

For some reason Eclipse says that the

import java.util.Random;

is never used even though I'm clearly using it. I didn't put my for loop into the code above but it loops n number of times and then outputs the result. No matter how many times it loops it always returns that the result is greater than 0.0 which can't be right. Am I calling Math.random incorrectly?
