To find the probability that the number rolled on a die is greater than 4, we first identify the possible outcomes when rolling a standard six-sided die. The possible outcomes are:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Next, we determine which of these outcomes are greater than 4. The numbers greater than 4 are:

5, 6

There are 2 favorable outcomes (5 and 6) out of a total of 6 possible outcomes.

The probability \( P \) of rolling a number greater than 4 is given by:

\[
P(\text{greater than 4}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}
\]

Therefore, the probability that the number rolled is greater than 4 is \( \frac{1}{3} \).

The correct answer is:

\(\frac{1}{3}\)
