You are asking a question about experimental probability. The problem with that type of question is that the answer is different each time you run the experiment. That's why we call it experimental probability. The outcome will be different each time you run the experiment.
This is different than theoretical probability, where you can compute a probability based on some a priori knowledge of the conditions of the experiment. For instance, if you asked me what the probability of throwing a 3 or a 4 on a 12 number die, I could easily compute that as 2 in 12, or 1 in 6, or about 0.1667. Even multiple experiments can be predicted. For instance, if you asked me what was the probability of throwing a 3 or a 4 on a 12 number die three times in a row, I could also easily compute that as (2 in 12)3 or about 0.004630.
Alas, experimental and theoretical probability part company and one does not assure the other, unless you run a very large number of tests but, even then, you only do what we call approachthe theoretical results with the experimental outcome.

Do you get an odd number when you roll a dice?
Half the time!
What is the possibility of rolling a three if you roll 4 dices at the same time?
You can't, can you? The smallest number that you can roll with four dice is four, that is, a 'one' on each of the four dice.
With 2 dice can you roll 1 die at a time?
Yes, you can roll one die (of a two dice set) at a time. Statistically, since they are unrelated, even if rolled together, it does not matter if you roll one or two at a time.
Does a previous roll of the dice affect the odds what roll?
No. Each roll is independent of the previous roll (on a fair dice). The same is true for flipping a coin. Getting a six your first roll does not make you any more or less likely to roll a six the second time.
What is the probability you will roll a 3 and a 4 on 2 dice at the same time?
Assuming they are fair, regular dice, the probability is 1/18.
Do you get an odd number when you roll a dice?
Half the time!
What is the probability of rolling a prime number if you roll to dice at the same time?
Assuming that "to" should actually be "two", Since the outcome on each die is independent, Pr(Roll a prime when rolling two dice) = Pr(Roll a prime on a die)2 = (1/2)2 = 1/4
What is the possibility of rolling a three if you roll 4 dices at the same time?
You can't, can you? The smallest number that you can roll with four dice is four, that is, a 'one' on each of the four dice.

What is the probability you will roll a 3 and a 4 on 2 dice at the same time?
Assuming they are fair, regular dice, the probability is 1/18.
IF you roll a fair dice and toss a coin at the same time what is the probability that you will get a head or a 6?
It is 7/12.
You roll 2 dice What is the probability that the sum of the dice is odd and both dice show the number 5?
Probability zero. If both dice have the same number, then the result will be even. If both dies are odd (as in the case of 5) then the sum is even. If both dies are even, the sum is also even. The only way to get an odd sum is to have one die have an odd number and the other die have an even number. That will happen 50% of the time.The probability of both dice showing 5 is 1/36. But the two events will never happen at the same time.
How many times can you roll a sum of 8?
Assuming you use two six-sided dice, you can roll a sum of 8 as many times as you want, provided you have enough time to sit there and roll them.
What is the probability of rolling a three if you roll a regular pair of dice one time?
2/12 or 1/6
What is the name of the board game in which you are given a word and you have to think of other words that contain that selfsame word?
I'm not sure if it is the game you are thinking of but "Boogle" is very similar. But instead of being given a word, you have "x" number of dice, each dice has a different letter on each side. You roll these dice and then have "x" amount of time to make as many words as possible out of the letters that you rolled on the dice.
Is it unusual to get a 12 when a pair of dice is rolled?
no it is not unusual to get a 12 as it is impossible to know what you will get as. it is based on a number of factors like the size of die or speed of throwing etc. so it is not unusual to get a 12
