What is the meaning of the term heads and tails for the example when one tosses a coin to make a choice?

It means just what it seems to -- someone tosses a coin up and you try to guess which side will be facing up when it lands. "Heads" is the side with the person's face on it and "tails" is other side.

What is the probability of getting 2 heads on all 3 tosses?
The probability is 0, since there will be some 3-tosses in which you get 0, 1 or 3 heads. So not all 3-tosses will give 2 heads.
What is the probabiltiy that a coin will land on heads in six tosses?
The probability that a coin will land on heads - at least once - in six tosses is 0.9844
What is the frequency for heads in a series of 100 tosses of a fair coin?
The theoretical frequency of heads will be .5 and as you do more and more coin tosses the observed frequency should get closer and closer to .5. With 100 tosses, it will be pretty close, but not exactly .5
Was the outcome of getting heads or tails in the 20 tosses same as the probability ratio?
It depends on what variable the probability ratio was for! The random variable could have been the number of heads minus the number of tails, for example.
What is the probability of getting only heads on the two tosses?
1/4

What are the possible outcomes for 2 tosses of a coin?
Heads+Heads ; Heads+Tails ; Tails+Tails
What is the probability of of tossing heads on the first 6 tosses of a fair coin?
The probability of tossing heads on all of the first six tosses of a fair coin is 0.56, or 0.015625. The probability of tossing heads on at least one of the first six tosses of a fair coin is 1 - 0.56, or 0.984375.

How many possible outcomes are there for each two tosses?
heads and tails
What fraction of the tosses came up as 2 heads?
8/20
What is the probability of getting only heads on the two tosses?
1/4
Find the probability of heads on three consecutive tosses of a coin?
The number of total outcomes on 3 tosses for a coin is 2 3, or 8. Since only 1 outcome is H, H, H, the probability of heads on three consecutive tosses of a coin is 1/8.
What is the probability that a coin that is tossed 10 times what is the probability of it landing on heads 10 times?
The probability is 0.09766%.Each toss has a ½ chance to be heads. To combine probabilities use multiply them. So the probability to get two heads out of two tosses is ½ * ½, and three heads out of three tosses is ½ * ½ * ½. So the exact answer is 0.5^10
What is the probability of getting exactly two heads in three coin tosses?
33%
