A fair six-sided dice has a "1" on one face a ''2'' on two of its faces and a "3" on the remaining three faces.

The dice is thrown twice, and T is the random variable "the sum of scores from both throws''.

Find the probability distribution of T.

A board game is played by moving a counter S spaces forward at a time, where S is determined by the following rule:

A fair six-sided dice is thrown once. S half the number shown on the dice if that number is even; otherwise S is twice the number shown on the dice. Write out a table showing the possible value of S and their probabilities.
