Let's analyze each statement regarding the probabilities associated with rolling a standard six-sided die:
A) **One in two chance of rolling a two**: This is incorrect because there is only 1 side with the number 2 on the die out of 6 total sides.
B) **One in six chance of rolling a two**: This is correct, as there is 1 side with the number 2 out of 6 total sides.
C) **One in six chance of rolling an odd number**: Incorrect. The odd numbers on a die are 1, 3, and 5 (which totals 3 sides out of 6), so the chance of rolling an odd number is actually 3 in 6, or 1 in 2.
D) **One in two chance of rolling a six**: Incorrect, as there is only 1 side with the number 6 out of 6 total sides, making the probability of rolling a six 1 in 6.
The correct statement is **B**: one in six chance of rolling a two.
