Answer:

1/3 = 0.33

Explanation:

in a 6 sided die, there are numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. So if you roll it once, there are 6 possible outcomes. so 6 is your sample space.

Out of all the possible outcomes, 5 and 6 are the only outcomes greater than 4.

P(an event occurring) = (number of ways it can occur)/(sample space)

∴p(roll greater than 4) = 2/6

=1/3

=0.333333333333333333333333............................

=0.33 (when rounded off to the 2nd decimal place)

So that's it!!! Hope i helped ya :)
