When a die is tossed twice, the total outcomes = 36

Six does not appear on any of the die  :  P(X=0)=\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{6}=\frac{25}{36}

Six appear on at least one die: P(X=1)=\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{5}{6}+ \frac{1}{6}\times \frac{5}{6}=\frac{5}{18}

Probability distribution is as follows:        

X 0 1
P(X) \frac{25}{36} \frac{5}{18}
