Question 188755: Nonstandard dice can produce interesting distributions of outcomes. You have two balanced, six-sided dice. One is a standard dice, with faces having 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 spots. The other die has three faces with 0 spots and three faces with 6 spots. Find the probability distribution for the total number of spots Y on the up-faces when you roll these two dice.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Sketch the sample space as a 6 by 6 square with
1,2,3,4,5,6 labeling the rows and
0,0,0,6,6,6 labeling the columns
--------------------------------
Fill in the 36 sums you get when you add a row value to a column value.
---------------------------------
Make a lising of the distinct sum values and their frequency.
Divide each frequency by 36.
Those numbers are the probability distribution and should add up to 1.
