Question

Express your answer as a fraction in lowest terms or a decimal

Answer 1

Solution:

Assuming you are rolling a standard 6-sided die with sides numbered 1 to 6, then there are 6 possible outcomes:

$\lbrace1,2,3,4,5,6\rbrace$

now, note that 4 of these outcomes are greater than 2:

$\lbrace3,4,5,6\rbrace$

So the probability of a roll greater than 2 is 4 out of 6, that is:

$P(roll\text{ }>\text{ 2 ) =}\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$

so that, the correct answer is:

$\frac{2}{3}$
