How many 3 number combinations are there from 0-9 and the numbers cannot repeat?
There are 10 choices for the first number, 9 for the second and 8 for the third. 10*9*8=720 possible combinations.
What are the odds that you will get tails only once in three coin tosses?
77.45%
How do you decide if a game is fair using theoretical or experimental probability?
Suppose that each time the game is played you win an amount X, with probability p or lose an amount Y with probability (1-p). To start with it is assumed that you cannot draw a game. Then each time the game is played you expect to win X with a probability p and lose Y (= win -Y) with probability (1-p).
Therefore, the expected gain for you, each time the game is played, is
X*p - Y*(1-p).
The game is fair if this value is 0. If it is greater than 0 the game is biased in your favour. Otherwise it is biased against you.
You can easily incorporate multiple outcomes - such as with a lottery: a bigger win for getting more numbers.
If X(1), X(2), ... X(n) are the n pay-outs to you (remember that what you pay will be a negative number), and P(1), p(2), ... p(n) are their respective probabilities where the sum of all the p(r) = 1, then your expected win per game is
X(1)*p(1) + X(2)*p(2) + ... + X(n)*p(n)
and the game is fair if this is 0.
Why is a barge the shape it is?
A barge is the shape it is because it need to be able to push tons of things to anywhere if it wasnt that shaoe it wouldn't be ableto do anything

What is 2 sixes called in dice?
Two sixes rolled on dice are commonly referred to as "double sixes." In many games, rolling double sixes can have special significance, such as providing an advantage or allowing an additional turn. In the game of craps, for example, it can be a winning roll.
Is an ace in cards considered a 1 or 14?
Most games both, Some games only one, but you chose. BUT THE VALUE IS 1 OR 11
It is 4/11.

What is the probability of your parachute failing?
It depends on how well you pack it, how good a condition it is in, and on how correctly you use it.
In practice, the probability is very low. About one in every 100,000 jumps in the US results in a fatality, a probability of about 0.00001, but that's not just due to parachute failure. One unconfirmed estimate is that one in a thousand (0.001) main chute deployments result in a malfunction, but it is true that very few of those result in a fatality, primarily because there is a reserve chute that is maintained and packed under different, more stringent, requirements.
Does spinning a four section spinner affect a six-sided number cube will land upon when tossed?
Presuming that the spinner and the number cube are both "fair", then no - spinning the spinner and tossing the six-sided number cube are called statistically independent events. They do not influence each other, and it does not matter which order the events occur in.
The 5th percentile of a standard normal distribution is -1.645 (from the normal probability table).
z = (x - μ) / σ
-1.645 = (x-98.2) / .62
(0.62)(-1.645) = x-98.2
-1.0199 = x-98.2
x = 98.2-1.0199 = 97.1801
The 5th percentile is 97.18
The 95th percentile of a standard normal distribution is 1.645 (from the normal probability table).
z = (x - μ) / σ
1.645 = (x-98.2) / .62
(0.62)(1.645) = x-98.2
1.0199 = x-98.2
x = 98.2+1.0199 = 99.2199
The 95th percentile is 99.22
