SOLUTION: Consider an experiment where we roll a single die and observe the number of dots. Thus, our sample space is S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Suppose that the die is not fair and that P(i)

Question 516480: Consider an experiment where we roll a single die and observe the number of dots. Thus, our sample
space is S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Suppose that the die is not fair and that P(i) = k / i for i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. What
is the value of k?

Since P(i) = k/i, we have P(1) = k, P(2) = k/2, ..., P(6) = k/6. Since P(1) + ... + P(6) = 1, we can say that

The LCM is 60, so we bash.
