Three siblings, Peyton, Cameron, and Dakota, all ask their parents to borrow the family car for different events

around town. Since they cannot all borrow the car at the same time, the parents decide to use randomness to
decide who gets the car. They will roll a single, fair, six-sided number cube. Peyton gets the car if a 1 or 2 is
rolled. Cameron gets the car if a 3 or 4 is rolled, and Dakota gets the car if a 5 or 6 is rolled. Which of the
following is the probability distribution for who gets the car?

Well for each person, the probability is 1/3. This is because they all have 2 out of 6 possible outcomes.
