Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

im assuming its a 6 sided dice

so each side is numbered 1-6

u want the probabilty if it being greater than 4

4 of the 6 numbers aren't greater than 4 so 4/6of the time it will be less than 4

which and be simplified to 2/3

so 1/1-2/3=1/3

so there is a 1/3 propbability that it will be greater than 4

Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

Anything under 4 has a 4/6 chance, so whats left is 2/6, which is equal to 1/3.
