Of course not. Cyclohexane is a non-polar solvent (you can see it that from the symmetry of the molecule structure and there is no electronegative group whatsoever attached to the molecule)
while alcohols (all of them) are considered to be polar solvent since they have electron-withdrawing OH group attached on the alkyl group.
hope that would help!

Yes - they are miscible.
You cannot mix cyclohexane with acetonitrile, DMF, DMSO, methanol and water,
But higher alcohols like ethanol, 1- or 2-propanol are no problem.
The polarity of cyclohexane is indeed very low:0.2, methanol: 5.1, ethanol: 4.3, 2-propanol: 3.9 but you can mix them!

No. Propan-2-ol requires a very polar or hydrogen-bonding solvent.
