Your literature review should explain: what has been done already to address your topic and related questions, putting your work in perspective, and what techniques others have used, what are their strengths and weaknesses, and how might they be relevant tools for your own analysis.
Can you demonstrate for each how this is done? I know you gave excerpts below but maybe point out for each item what sections are relevant.

rep(1/6, 6)
Didn't understand what was going on. I knew 1/6 was mentioned but I didn't know we were repeating it 6 times. I was wondering where the ,6 came from

function sample(), see ?sample. We can use it to simulate the random outcome of a dice roll. Let’s roll the dice! sample(1:6, 1) #> [1] 4 The probability distribution of a discrete random variable is the list of all possible values of the variable and their probabilities which sum to 111.
Maybe it's because it's been a few years since I took a statistics course (and it was an introductory course), but I can't seem to understand it.
- "Let's roll the dice!" helps a lot to see that we're looking at dice roll.
- ?sample doesn't really help much; I might be able to understand the ?sample documentation if I take the time but at this point I'll look for another resource
- Is the sum of all probabilities being 1 related to the 1 in "(1:6" or the 1 in ", 1)"? Just found out the first 1 is not related to either 1 (i.e. the "sum of all probabilities being 1" is not related to what was typed) but it was something I thought otherwise.
