The statement is false. In a fair six-sided number cube (or die), each face has an equal probability of landing face up.

A standard six-sided die has faces numbered 1 through 6. Each face is equally likely to land face up when the die is rolled, assuming the die is fair and unbiased.

Probability of Landing on 4: There is only one face on the die with the number 4. Since there are six faces in total, the probability of landing on 4 is 1/6.

Odds: Odds are another way of expressing the likelihood of an event, typically as a ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the number of unfavorable outcomes. In this case, the odds of landing on 4 are 1:5, meaning there is 1 favorable outcome (rolling a 4) and 5 unfavorable outcomes (rolling any other number). Since we have different fraction, it is false.

The probability of a number cube landing on 4 is the same as the odds of a number cube landing on 4. true or false
