A number cube has six numbers, from 1 to 6, with one number on each face.

Since the number cube is fair, the probability of each number being rolled is the same.

So, to find the probability of one specific number being rolled, we just need to divide 1 by the total amount of numbers:


P=(1)/(6)

The probability of rolling a 2 is the same as rolling any other number, therefore the probability is 1/6.
