Read the instructions that accompany the table: they do not all have exactly the same layout.
There are six sides to a die. If we assume that all sides have the same chance of coming up then each side has a probability of 1 in 6 or 1/6. This is the theoretical probability. Of course if the die is not perfectly shaped and weighted then it will not be 'fair' and the sides will have different probabilities of coming up.

The area under any probability density function including the normal distribution must equal 1, as the sum of the probabilities of all outcomes must equal 1. However, as the domain of outcomes goes from minus infinity to positive infinity, this fact is a theoretical one, and any practical problem will have cumulative probabilities less than 1.
