Here is an assignment of probabilities to the face that comes up when rolling an unusual die once: Which of the following is true? Outcome 1 3 4 5 6 Probability 1/7 2/7 3/7 1/7 This is a legitimate assignment of probability. This isn't a legitimate assignment of probability, because it gives probability zero to rolling a 3 or a 5. This isn't a legitimate assignment of probability, because the probabilities do not add to exactly 1. O d This isn't a legitimate assignment of probability, because every face of a die must have probability 1/6.
