Question

A six sided die is rolled. Find the probability of rolling a number greater than 2.Give your answer as a reduced fraction.

Answer 1

Probability

Let's analyze the number of ways of obtaining a number greater than 2 when a die is rolled:

3, 4, 5, 6

There are 4 ways out of 6. Then, the probability is:

$\frac{4}{6}$

Simplifying the fraction:

$\frac{4\div2}{6\div2}=\frac{2}{3}$

Answer: 2/3
