If Emilio spins a 1-8 spinner 10 times and on his first 3 spins the spinner lands on 8 what is the experimental probability that Emilio will spin a 10 on his fourth spin?

I'm assuming that a "1-8 spinner" is similar to an eight-sided die, so the probability of spinning a 10 is zero.
When throwing dice, or flipping a coin, etc., each outcome is independent. That is, it's not influenced by the previous outcome(s). So if you get three 8s in a row then the probability of getting an 8 on the fourth throw remains at 1/8. The probability of an 8 on each and every throw is always 1/8.

When tossing 2 coins the probability of getting exactly 1 tail is one fourth?
No. It is 1/2.
If a couple has three daughters what is the probability that the next child is a son if they already have three daughters?
There is no simple answer to the question because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes.If you believe that the children's genders are not independent then you would need to get empirical evidence from all families with four or more children in which the first three children were girls. If there are g families in which the fourth is a girl and b where the fourth is a boy then the required probability is b/(g+b).However, if you assume that the children's genders are independent events then, given that the probability of a boy is approx 0.52, the probability of the fourth child is a boy is 0.52
What is the probability of getting tails 4 times in a row when you flip a coin?
The probability of each coin flip, independently, is 0.5 or 50%. The probability of getting one result (either heads or tails) four times in a row is 0.5 to the fourth power or 0.0625, which equals 6.25%
What is the probability of getting tails on all 7 tosses if a fair coin is tossed 7 times?
The probability of Tails on the first toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the second toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the third toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the fourth toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the fifth toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the sixth toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the seventh toss is 1/2.The probability of all of them is (0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5) = (0.5)7 = 0.0078125= 0.78125 %

What is the probability of a head coming up on the fourth toss?
If you are talking about the toss of a coin, the probability for a head coming up on the fourth toss is identical to the probability of a head coming up on the first toss, or the 17th or the 9,437th: Exactly 50/50.
What is the probability that exactly 2 coins will show heads?
one fourth
If you flip two coins the probability that both will come up heads is?
one fourth
If a six sided die is tossed three times and 4 shows up three times what is the probability of 4 on the fourth trial?
Each die toss is independent; so the probability of 4 on the fourth trial is still 1/6.
What is the probability of getting four consecutive twos from tossing a fair number cube?
The probability of the first one is 1/6 .The probability of the second one is 1/6 .The probability of the third one is 1/6 .The probability of the fourth one is 1/6 .The probability of all four is (1/6)4 = 0.0007716 (rounded) = 0.077 %
What is the probability of tossing tails on a coin four times in a row?
The probability of Tails on the first toss is 0.5 .The probability of Tails on the second toss is 0.5 .The probability of Tails on the third toss is 0.5 .The probability of Tails on the fourth toss is 0.5 .The probability of all four is (0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5) = 0.0625 = 6.25%

When tossing 2 coins the probability of getting exactly 1 tail is one fourth?
No. It is 1/2.
When rolling a number cube twice what is the probability of rolling at least one even number?
one fourth
What is the probability that the fourth toss is tails?
1/2. What the previous tosses are has no impact on what a fourth toss of a coin is, so the chance of getting a tails is the same on any throw.
