If it's 3 or 4 the probability is:

2/6 or 1/3

We call the outcomes in an event its "favorable outcomes". If a die is rolled once, determine the probability of rolling a 4: Rolling a 4 is an event with 1 favorable outcome (a roll of 4) and the total number of possible outcomes is 6 (a roll of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6). Thus, the probability of rolling a 4 is .
