Fisher's exact test is used to calculate the exact probability of obtaining a specific outcome in a contingency table. In this case, we can set up a 2x6 contingency table with the columns representing the tosses of each coin and the rows representing the possible outcomes (heads or tails). We can then calculate the probability of getting six heads in this table with Fisher's exact test. The other nonparametric tests listed are used for different types of research questions and data types.
