Answer:

P(less than 3 or odd) = 0.667

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible outcomes in a standard number cube are:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6

From then, the number that are less than 3 or odd are

1, 2, 3, and 5

So, there are 4 numbers that are less than 3 or odd from the total of 6 possibilities. Then the probability is

P(less than 3 or odd) = 4/6

P(less than 3 or odd) = 0.667
