Answer with explanation:

Total possible outcome when a die is rolled =6 which are{1,2,3,4,5,6}

Favorable outcome ={5}

Probability of an event


=\frac{\text{Total favorable outcome}}{\text{Total Possible outcome}}

Probability of getting 5 when a die is rolled


=(1)/(6)

Probability of not rolling a 5 on a standard number cube


=1-(1)/(6)\\\\=(5)/(6)
