To solve this question, we need to determine which outcomes of rolling a six-sided number cube (also known as a die) will result in an even number. An even number is any integer that can be exactly divided by 2 without a remainder.

The numbers on a standard die are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Going through each number:

1. The number 1 is not an even number because it cannot be divided by 2 without a remainder.
2. The number 2 is an even number because it can be divided by 2 to give a whole number (1). So we include 2 in our list of outcomes.
3. The number 3 is not an even number.
4. The number 4 is an even number as it can be divided by 2 to give 2, without any remainder. So we add 4 in our list.
5. The number 5 is not an even number.
6. The number 6 is an even number because 3 multiplied by 2 is 6. So we include 6 in our list.

Therefore, the outcomes for the event that an even number is rolled are: 2, 4, and 6. These are the only even numbers that can result from rolling a standard six-sided die.
