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.
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.

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.
When 2 coins are tossed simultaneously what is probabiliy of getting atleast two heads?
At least two heads with two coins? You can't get more.
There are 4 different outcomes:
tail-tail, head-tail, tail-head and head-head.
You can use one out of four - which gives us the probability 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
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.
What does DC mean in the event of a miscarriage?
I think you may be referring to "D and C," which means "Dilation and Curettage." It is a procedure to scrape and collect the tissue (endometrium) from inside the uterus. Dilation is a widening of the cervix to allow instruments into the uterus and curettage is the scraping of the contents of the uterus. The procedure has a number of uses including the removal of tissue after a miscarriage. For more information, go to: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/articles/12190-1.asp
If two fair dice were rolled what is the probability of them rolling a sum of three?
Each cube can come up in 6 different ways.
Total possible outcomes for 2 cubes is (6 x 6) = 36 .

The probability of success is (2/36) = 5 and 5/9 percent
What are the odds of rolling either a 1 or a 5 with 3 dice?
well there are 6 sides and the odd of hitting one
is a 1 out of 6 chance. the odds of hitting five is a 5 out 6
chance
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".
The answer is 4!*24 = 24*16 = 384 ways.
What is the chance of rolling an even number on both of the 2 dice?
There are four outcomes possible. Both even, both odd, and one of each twice. So, in one roll, it looks like your chances are 1 in 4. Is that what you are after?
