\(1)~ \text{The possible values are }\\ 6 = (2,4)\\ 8=(4,4)\\ 9=(2,7)\\ 11=(4,7)\)
\(P[6]=\dfrac{\dbinom{1}{1}\dbinom{2}{1}}{\dbinom{4}{2}}=\dfrac 1 3\\ P[8] = \dfrac{\dbinom{2}{2}}{\dbinom{4}{2}}= \dfrac 1 6\\ P[9] = \dfrac{\dbinom{1}{1}\dbinom{1}{1}}{\dbinom{4}{2}}=\dfrac 1 6\\ P[11]=\dfrac{\dbinom{2}{1}\dbinom{1}{1}}{\dbinom{4}{2}}=\dfrac 1 3\)
\(\text{We want a distribution of }\left(\dfrac 1 3,\dfrac 1 3,\dfrac 1 3\right) \text{ on cone sizes}\\ \text{And choice D is the only one that accomplishes this}\)
