The probability of rolling a specific number on a fair six-sided die is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.

In this case, there is only one favorable outcome (rolling a 4) and there are six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6).

Thus, the probability is:

\[ \text{Probability of rolling a 4} = \frac{1}{6} \]

Therefore, the correct response is:

1 sixth
