What is probability of rolling a sum of 3 with a pair of unfair dice with probability of 1 and 2 at 18 and the rest at 16?

The probability of any event MUST be a number between 0 and 1. It is not possible to have a probability of 18 or 16. Furthermore, given that the dice are not normal, the question should also specify how many faces they have and what numbers are on these faces.

When a coin is tossed why it appears head or tail?

Those are the names given to the two faces of a coin. From early days, coins had an image of important persons - kings, queens, emperors, on one face and that face was called heads. The reason for the other side being called "tails" is uncertain. These are the only two outcomes of a coin being tossed. Although there is a non-zero probability of the coin falling and remaining on its edge, it is small enough to be ignored in practice.
