Final answer:

The probability of rolling a 2 on a fair six-sided die is 1 out of 6, or 1/6, as there is only one face with the number 2 out of six possible outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking about the probability of rolling a specific number on a fair six-sided die. Given a standard die with numbers 1 through 6 on its faces, there is only one face with the number 2. Therefore, the probability of rolling a number equal to 2 is 1 out of 6, or 1/6, since there is one favorable outcome (rolling a 2) out of six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
