Answer:

Probability of a dice rolling a number less than 3 is 2/6 = 1/3

Probability of dice spinning a number less than 6 is 5/6

Explanation:

Number less than 3:

Chances of no. Being 1 and 2, not including 3, is 1/6 individually.

Hence, chances of no. Rolled being lesser than 3 is 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/3

Probability of no. Being smaller than 6 (lesser than 6) Aka spinning 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5, not including 6 is (1/6) x 5 = 5/6
