When rolling two dice what is the probability of the sum being a factor of twelve?

That's a very nice problem !
Total number of possible outcomes with two dice = 36.
Factors of twelve = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.
Number of ways to roll a '1' = zero
Number of ways to roll a 2 = 1 . .. . (snake-eyes)
Number of ways to roll 3 = 2 . . . . . (1,2 and 2,1)
Number of ways to roll 4 = 3 . . . . . (1,3 / 2,2 and 3/1)
Number of ways to roll 6 = 5 . . . . . (1,5 / 2,4 / 3,3 / 4,2 and 5,1)
Number of ways to roll 12 = 1 . . . . (box-cars)
Total number of successful rolls = 12
Probability = 12/36 = 1/3 = 33 and 1/3 percent.

What is the probability of rolling a six on a die?
The probability is 1 in 6 as there are 6 sides on a dice and an even chance of each side being selected.
What is the probability of rolling 5 or 0?
If one of the outcomes is rolling a 0, it is obviously not a standard die. That being the case, there is not enough information to give a sensible answer.
When rolling a two dice what is the probability of both dice being different?
It is 30/36 = 5/6
What are the probabilities of rolling a a five with one dice?
Rolling the dice once will result in any one of the six numbers having the same probability of being up. The probability of getting a '5' = 1/6, the same as getting a '1.' ============================
What is the probability of not rolling a 5?
Even if I assume that you mean probability and not probility, the question cannot be answered since there is no information as to what is being rolled. For a normal tetrahedral die, the answer is 1.
What is the probability of rolling sum that is a multiple of 5?
That would depend upon what it is that is being rolled.

What is the probability of rolling sum that is a multiple of 3?
That would depend entirely upon what it is that is being rolled.
What is the probability of rolling 2 dice total under 7 with 1 dice being 3?
It is 5/11.
What is the probability of a 5 not being rolled on a dice?
Probability is desired options over total options. There are 6 faces on a standard dice, so NOT rolling a 5 is 5/6.
What is the probability of rolling two dice and getting the sum of 1?
Zero. The minimum value of two dice being rolled is two.
If a coin is flipped and a die is rolled.what is the probability of getting heads and a 6?
The probability of flipping a heads is 1/2 and the probability of rolling a 6 is 1/6. By the laws of probability it would be logical to multiply them together, (1/2)(1/6) thus the answer being 1/12 with is roughly eight percent.
