SOLUTION: What would make the following a valid probability distribution? x- 18, 12, 16, 20 p(x)- 5/6, blank, 1/12, 1/12

Question 1171948: What would make the following a valid probability distribution?
x- 18, 12, 16, 20
p(x)- 5/6, blank, 1/12, 1/12

blank would have to be 0, because the other three p(x) values add to 1.
