I am completely stuck on this probability question involving dice. Any hints or help in the right direction would be great.
You are given $6$ numbers: $2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 5: n_1, n_2,\dots , n_6$. Assume we change a six-sided die so that the probability of getting $k$ (where $k ∈ \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$ as usual) is equal to $x \times n_k$ for some fixed number $x$. What is the probability of getting a $6$?
We have: $$1=\sum_{k=1}^6 P(k) = x\left(\sum_{1}^6 n_k\right) = 29x.$$ So $x=\frac{1}{29}$. So what is $P(6)?$
