Two fair dice are thrown. Let the random variable X be the smaller

x 1 2 3 4 5 6
P(X = x)

(ii) Find E(X)

hi..could you guys please guild me how to solve this kind of
question please! thx!

First make up the 6 by 6 table giving the joint probabilities that
the first die comes up x1 and the second second die comes up x2.
What assumption must you make in order to generate the table?
Then how do you get P(x) from the table?
