A fair nickel and a fair dice are tossed once outcomes match when both coins land on heads or both coins land on tails What is the theoretical probability of a match?
The probability of 2 coins both landing on heads or both landing on tails is 1/2 because there are 4 possible outcomes. Head, head. Head, tails. Tails, tails. Tails, heads. Tails, heads is different from heads, tails for reasons I am unsure of.
Four coins tossed what is the probability of tossing all heads?
If they are fair coins, it is 1/16.
If four fair coins are tossed what is the probability of getting two tails?
50%
What does it mean for a probability to be fair?
A probability is fair if there is no bias in any of the possible outcomes. Said another way, all of the possible outcomes in a fair distribution have an equal probability.

Whats the probability of getting at most one heads when two fair coins are tossed?
When two fair coins are tossed, you have the following possible outcomes: HH, HT, TH, TT. So, at most implies that you get either i) zero heads or ii) one head. From the possible outcomes we see that 3 times we satisify the outcome. Thus, probability of at most one head is 3/4.
What is the probability of getting 2 tails if 4 fair coins are tossed?
possible
A fair coin is tossed 3 times how many possible outcomes are there?
Each toss has 2 outcomes; so the number of outcomes for 3 tosses is 2*2*2 = 8

What are the odds against two fair value cubes showing the same number when tossed?
There are 36 possible outcomes of which 6 show the same number on each, so the odds are 5 - 1 against.
If you toss 5 fair coins how many possible outcomes are in the sample space?
Assuming order is irrelevant, 2^5, or 2*2*2*2*2 or 32 possible combos.
