sixe sided die so number of possible outcome is=6

And a die with even number is (2,4,6)

so number of favorable outcome is:3

then probability is:


\begin{gathered} \text{probability}=\frac{favorable-outcom\text{ }}{\text{total outcom}} \\ =(3)/(6) \\ =(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

so probability is half.
