To find the probability \( P(\text{even}) \) when rolling a 6-sided die, we need to identify the even numbers on the die.
The even numbers on a 6-sided die are 2, 4, and 6. There are 3 even outcomes.
Since there are a total of 6 possible outcomes when rolling a die (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), the probability of rolling an even number is calculated as follows:
\[
P(\text{even}) = \frac{\text{Number of even outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}
\]
To express this probability as a percentage, we multiply by 100:
\[
P(\text{even}) = \frac{1}{2} \times 100 = 50\%
\]
Thus, the probability of rolling an even number is **50%**.
