Recall the property of probability distributions that for a sample space S = {s,, 5,,.. 5,}, we have = 1. In other words, probabilities of all the outcomes (rolling a 1, or a 2, or a 3, P(s,) + P(s,) + or a 4, or a 5, or a 6) will sum to 1. Use this fact to write an equation in terms of x, and solve for x. +P(s,) = P(1) + P(2) + P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6) = 1 *+x+x+x+x = 1 8x + 1. X =
