What is the probability for rolling a number cube?
For most people the probability is 1: they have already rolled a number cube. For infants, it is quite likely to happen in the course of their lives, so again the probability is very close to 1.
How many different amounts can you have with only 2 coins?
That depends what coins are allowed. Since I don't know in what country you live, there is really no way to know. For "n" different coins, you have "n" options where the same coin is used twice; you also have n(n-1)/2 options that use two different coins.
When a card is drawn from an ordinary deck WHAT IS the probability of getting a jack?
2 out of 52
this can be canceled down too 1 out of 26
also 26%
Actually is would be 4/52 since there are 4 jacks.
Not 26%...more like 1/26=.03846 or 3.8465 if the answer were 1/26 which it is not.... the answer is 4/52 or 1/13.
So...1/13=.076923 so 7.6923% actually.. :)

When is a one sample t-test used?
When the hypotheses being tested is one sided. That is to say, the hypothesis is not that the random variable X is different to some value V, but either that X > V or X < V. Of course, either hypothesis could include equality.
A whole number consist ofthe digits 24680 how many whole numbers are possible?
There are 5 digits in 24680; think of them as 5 compartments. You can select 5 numbers for the 1st compartment, 4 numbers for the 2nd compartment, 3 numbers for the 3rd compartment, 2 numbers for the 4th compartment, and 1 number for the 5th compartment. So, the answer is 5*4*3*2*1 or 5! or 120.

The answer is 4!*24 = 24*16 = 384 ways.
The combination (product, actually) of a probability and the associated benefit (or cost) of a certain situation is called the "mathematical expectation", "expectation value", or "expected value".
