Answer:

1/6

Explanation:

If the die is fair (and we will assume that all of them are), then each of these outcomes is equally likely. Since there are six possible outcomes ( A standard die has 6 Number { 1,2,3,4,5,6 } ) , the probability of obtaining any side of the die is 1/6. The probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6, the probability of rolling a 2 is 1/6, and so on.
