If you roll a standard die and flip a penny at the same time, there are 12 possible outcomes. You can find this out quickly by multiplying the number of outcomes of the coin (2) by the number of outcomes of the die (6). Here they are: Heads, 1 Heads, 2 Heads, 3 Heads, 4 Heads, 5 Heads, 6 Tails, 1 Tails, 2 Tails, 3 Tails, 4 Tails, 5 Tails, 6
Because you are thinking permutations rather than combinations. There are four permutations of two coins, but there are only three combinations, because it does not matter which coin is heads and which coin is tails. As a result, the combination of heads and tails has a 0.5 probability, while two heads or two tails each have a 0.25 probability.
1/16 These are four independent events each with a 1/2 probability. The probability that all four occur (penny and nickels heads and dime and quarter tails) is: 1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2=(1/2)4=1/16.
Each time you flip a fair coin it has the same equal chance of landing on heads or tails. That is, even if you get (for example) 19 heads in a row, the next flip still has 50% chance of landing on tails (if the coin is fair).
50%
2 heads and 2 tails
2 heads and 2 tails
The probability of the coin flip being heads or tails is 100%.
The side heads is slightly heavier giving it a greater likely hood of landing on tails.
The probability is most likely 2/4.
2. There is heads and there is tails.
50%. there are only 2 choices heads or tails and that doesn't change no matter how many times you flip the coin

Expirimental probability is when you use an expiriment to find the probability of a certain predicament. For example: Let's say you flip a coin 10 times. Before you flip you guess that you flip 5 heads and 5 tails or 1/2 heads and 1/2 tails. You guess this because one side is heads and the other side is tails so its an even risk. This is theoretical probability. When you actually do flip the coins you get, lets say, 8 heads and 2 tails. This would make your expirimental probability 4/5 heads and 1/5 tails. That is because you based the evidence on an expiriment rather than a guess. The longer the expiriment is, the more accurate your evidence will be.
