Answer:

Depends. Check out the explanation below.

Explanation:

Depending on which number you choose, you will have the same chance for each of them. To find out the chance of each of them, you first need to find the denominator, which is 6 because there are 6 sides of a dice. Now, we need to find the numerator. How many sides are we looking at? 1? 2? 3? Depending on how many sides there are, is your probability. So, if there is one side you are trying to find, it would be 1/6. If there are two sides, it would be 2/6 or 1/3. And so on.
