Remember, for this use of the table object, the probabilities are on the Y axis, and the data for those probabilities are the X axis. So I made a table with all positions on the X axis set to 1, except for positions 1, 3, 5, 7 and 11, which are set to 20.

If I use the same way you show me (probability table and result table), I hope I can use something which be able to read results from the results table and express properly. I hope I can use something to read the result table and unpack it so that I will get the whole results numbers once at a time. Is it possible?

Hi Chris,

Just want to say thank you. Now I know how to play the probability game and this is really useful because I can put this anywhere I want in my project. The music part in my project because far far better compared to before. You are a very nice guy and a very good teacher. Thank you so much :)
