"Equally likely" means pretty much what it sounds like- two events are "equally likely" if the probabilities each is to happen are the same. A coin is called "fair" if flipping it, heads and tails have the same probability, 1/2. Rolling a single die, each of the six sides is "equally likely" to come up so each has probability 1/6.
