Let us take P(1) to be x. Then we get the following table:
| Outcome | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Probability | x | .125 | .125 | .125 | .125 | 3x |
(since P(6) is 3 times P(1)).
Since the probabilities must add to 1, we now get
Solving for x, we get x = .125, and so 3x = .375, allowing us to fill in the table as follows:
| Outcome | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Probability | .125 | .125 | .125 | .125 | .125 | .375 |
