Step-by-step explanation and answer:

The 6 sides of the die are numbered 1,2,3,4,5,6

There are 3 odd and 3 even numbers

probability of an odd number on 1st roll is:

3/6=1/2

When you want A AND B probabilities, you multiply

the events A and B

The number less than 3 are 1,2, so the probability is:

2/6=1/3

so the probability of both events are going to be:

(1/2) *(1/3)=1/6
