Answer:

The probability of rolling a number less than 5 is 3/6 or 0.5.

Explanation:

Step 1: List all the possible outcomes of rolling the die.

The set of equally likely outcomes is {1,2,3,4,5,6)

Step 2: Count the number of outcomes that fulfill the criteria.

Three outcomes fulfill the criteria (1,2,3)

Step 3: Calculate the probability by dividing the number of outcomes that fulfill the criteria by the total number of outcomes.

The probability of rolling a number less than 5 is 3/6 or 0.5
