Answer: 1/3
Step-by-step explanation: Probability is the likelihood that an event will happen.
So to find the probability of rolling a die and the number that appears will be greater than 4, it's important to understand that there are only 2 numbers that are greater than 4 on a die. The two numbers are 5 and 6.
We can find the probability of an event using the following ratio.
Number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes.
In this case, since we're asked to find the probability of landing on 5 or 6, the favorable outcomes are rolling a 5 and 6. Since there are two numbers greater than 4 on a dice, the number of favorable outcomes will be 2.
The total number of outcomes is all the numbers on the dice which is 6.
Now we have the fraction 2/6. Since 2/6 is not in lowest terms, we divide the numerator and denominator by 2 and we get 1/3.
1/3 is also equivalent to 33.3333333% which means it's unlikely to roll a 5 or 6.
