b) If the sums 4,6 and 12 are each half as likely as the sums, 5,8 and 9, identify all six sides of the die.

I sure hope you take the trouble to understand the solutions to these problems you're posting, instead of just copying them for your homework. Otherwise you *will* bomb on your test.
The die has numbers 2, 2, 3, 3, 6, 6. The easy way to figure it out is because 12 has to be the highest number rolled twice, and 4 has to be the lowest number rolled twice. You can work out the rest.
