A fair six-sided dice has a "1" on one face a ''2'' on two of its laces 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 that the total score is more than 4.

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.

The discrete random variable X can take only the values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The probability distribution of X is given by the following 

P(X=0)=P(X=1)=P(X= 2) = a

P(X=3)=P(X=4)=P(X= 5) = b

P(X2)=3P(X<2)

where a and b are constants.

Determine the values of a and b.
