Explanation:

I assume the number cube is a regular one with 6 sides and numbers 1..6.

7.

P(odd) is the probability to get an odd number (1, 3, 5) or if the possible 6 numbers (1..6).

so that is

3/6 = 1/2 = 0.5

8.

P(even) : (2, 4, 6) out of 1..6 is

3/6 = 1/2 = 0.5

9.

P(prime) : (2, 3, 5) out of 1..6 is

3/6 = 1/2 = 0.5

remember, 1 is not a prime number (just a special case), and 2 is a prime number, because it is only divisible by 1 and itself.

10.

P(greater than 6) : that is impossible to get on a die with numbers 1..6.

so, the probability is

0/6 = 0
