Answer:

(D) 5 / 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A dice has six sides. The probability of rolling a 3 is 1 / 6

The probability of rolling any number that is not a 3 is 5 / 6

This is true because since there are 6 sides to a dice and only one is a 3, the other 5 sides are not a three, so the chances of not rolling a 3 are higher than the chances of rolling a three.

Probability of rolling a number that is not 3: 5 / 6
