the correct answer is 1/6 for a two and 1/2 for an odd number so all together it would be 2/3

Answer:
(2)/(3)

Explanation:

When we roll a 6-sided dis , the total possible of outcomes : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Thus , the total number of outcomes =6

The favorable outcomes: 2, 1, 3 , 5

Thus , the number of favorable outcomes = 4

Now, the required probability :-


\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}\\\\=(4)/(6)=(2)/(3)

Hence, the probability of rolling a 6 sided die and getting a 2 or an odd number
=(2)/(3)
