Probability
The probability of a certain event is a number expressing the likelihood that a specific event will occur, expressed as the ratio of the number of actual occurrences to the number of possible occurrences. In mathematics, it is a measure of how often an event will happen and is the basis of statistics.

Everyone is average, whether that average is the mean, median, or mode.
If you flipped two coins what is the probability that the first coin is heads?
The probability is always 50/50 even if you flipped 100 or 1000000 coins.

1/25
Find the probability of rolling a sum of 7 with three dice?
You have to find out all combinations of dice that give you 7: that would be 1-1-5; 1-2-4; 1-3-3; 1-4-2; 1-5-1; 2-1-4; 2-2-3; 2-3-2; 2-4-1; 3-1-3; 3-2-2; 3-3-1; 4-1-2; 4-2-1; 5-1-1. I hope I didn't miss any, that would be 15 favorable combinations; the total of possibilities with 3 dice is 63 = 216, so the probability is 15/216 = 5/72, or about 6.9%.
When a dice is rolled what is the probability of rolling a 3?
If you're only rolling one die, it's a probability of 1 out of six, or 16.67%.
What are the odd of getting pocket aces and then the other two aces on the flop in Texas hold-em?
.16837% . Just think of it as 1/10th of one %.
What is the probability of rolling a odd number on a dice?
Three out of six which reduces to one half.
What is the probability of getting sucked into a tornado?
For the majority of the world's population it is 0. For a few people it is greater than 0 but even so, the overall probability is negligible.
What is the probability of choosing a queen a king from a standard deck of playing cards?
If you mean chosing both cards - the odds are 1 in 169. If you mean chosing either a king or a queen - the odds are 1 in 13
What is the probability of drawing a jack queen or a king card in a pack of cards?
12 out of 52, 3 out of 13, or about 23%
Does the size of a coin affect the side the coin lands on?
No. However, if the diameter of the coin is comparable in magnitude to the height from which it is tossed, then it will affect the outcome. This could be relevant for oversized dummy coins - a quarter meter or so in width.
3/8ths
What is the probability that three coins flipped at the same time will land all 3 heads up?
One in eight, or 12.5%.
What is the outcome if you roll a12 number dice 3 time?
You are asking a question about experimental probability. The problem with that type of question is that the answer is different each time you run the experiment. That's why we call it experimental probability. The outcome will be different each time you run the experiment.
This is different than theoretical probability, where you can compute a probability based on some a priori knowledge of the conditions of the experiment. For instance, if you asked me what the probability of throwing a 3 or a 4 on a 12 number die, I could easily compute that as 2 in 12, or 1 in 6, or about 0.1667. Even multiple experiments can be predicted. For instance, if you asked me what was the probability of throwing a 3 or a 4 on a 12 number die three times in a row, I could also easily compute that as (2 in 12)3 or about 0.004630.
Alas, experimental and theoretical probability part company and one does not assure the other, unless you run a very large number of tests but, even then, you only do what we call approachthe theoretical results with the experimental outcome.
What is the probability of a spinner of 20 landing on 5?
Probability of a spinner of 20 landing on 5 is 1/20.
Which term describes the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment?
- if you were to take a quarter and flip it, Whats the probability that it lands on head. The answer would be 1/2 because theirs only two sides two have a fifty fifty chance on landing to either side.
- Bad example: There is a four sided rubrics-cube, you wanna make it land on the red color, well that my lilt friend would be 1/2.
