Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

3 of the options are not to be chosen, and 3 are wanted.

That means that anything above 3 (so, 4, 5, or 6) are the numbers that are wanted, while the numbers 1, 2, and 3 are not wanted.

We have 6 total options.

The ration would be:

3:6, or 3 to 6. This reduces down to 1:2, or 1 to 2.

That means that there is a 50% chance of getting 4, 5, or 6.
