Answer:

The probability of rolling either a 2 or an odd number is 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

A six-sided die has faces:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

Probability of rolling a 2 is 1/6

The odd numbers are 1, 3 and 5

The probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6 = 1/2

The probability of rolling either a 2 or an odd number is:

(1/6)*(1/2) = 1/12
