Question 1094719: A peculiar die has the following properties: on any roll the probability of rolling either a 5, a 3, or a 1 is 1/2 , just as it is with an ordinary die. Moreover, the probability of rolling either a 1, a 6, or a 2 is again 1/2 . However, the probability of rolling a 1 is 1/4, not 1/6 as one would expect of an ordinary fair die.
From what you know about this peculiar die, compute
a. the probability of rolling either a 4, a 6, or a 2
b. the probability of rolling a 4

Doesn't make sense!
The sum of the probabilities must be equal to 1. You show the probabilities of rolling 1, 2, 3, 5, or 6 each equal to 1/2. And then you turn around and say the probability of rolling a 1 is 1/4.
...??
Re-post, giving numbers that make sense.
