The probability function

The owner of a casino fakes two dices so that in dice $A$ we can never get a $6$ (and get twice as many ones), and in dice $B$ we never get a $5$ (and twice as many twos).

  • Fill in the following table of probabilities for every dice:
result dice A probability
$1$ ?
$2$ ?
$3$ $1/6$
$4$ ?
$5$ ?
$6$ 0
result dice B probability
$1$ ?
$2$ ?
$3$ $1/6$
$4$ ?
$5$ ?
$6$ ?
  • The impossible events have zero probability $(A=6, B=5)$. As we are been told, there is twice the probability of observing events $A=1$ and $B=2$ (probability $2/6$):
result dice A probability
$1$ $2/6$
$2$ $1/6$
$3$ $1/6$
$4$ $1/6$
$5$ $1/6$
$6$ $0$
result dice B probability
$1$ $1/6$
$2$ $2/6$
$3$ $1/6$
$4$ $1/6$
$5$ $0$
$6$ $1/6$
result dice A probability
$1$ $2/6$
$2$ $1/6$
$3$ $1/6$
$4$ $1/6$
$5$ $1/6$
$6$ $0$
result dice B probability
$1$ $1/6$
$2$ $2/6$
$3$ $1/6$
$4$ $1/6$
$5$ $0$
$6$ $1/6$
