Probability of the outcome you're looking for =

(number of ways your outcome can happen)
divided by
(total number of possible outcomes) .

Total number of possible outcomes when a single fair is tossed = 6 .

The outcomes you're looking for: 5 or 6 . (two of them) .

Probability = 2 / 6 = 1/3 = 33-1/3 %
