To determine the likelihood of rolling a standard six-sided die (which has the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) and getting a number larger than 2, we first identify the numbers that meet this criterion. The numbers larger than 2 are 3, 4, 5, and 6.
There are 4 favorable outcomes (3, 4, 5, and 6) out of a total of 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6).
Consequently, the likelihood of rolling a number larger than 2 is:
- Probability = Favorable outcomes / Total outcomes = 4/6 = 2/3.
Given that there are favorable outcomes and the probability is relatively high, this situation is considered:
**A) Likely**
