What is the probability of throwing a number greater than 2 with a single fair die

1/6

1/3

1/2

2/3

5/6

If a die is rolled once, the probability of getting a number greater than 2 is \(\frac{2}{3}\).

i.e Pr( number greater than 2) = \(\frac{\text{ no of required outcome}}{\text{total no of expected outcome}}\)

= \(\frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}\)
