When rolling a standard six-sided die, there are six possible outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
The events of rolling a 4 or a 5 are two favorable outcomes. Therefore, the probability of rolling a 4 or a 5 can be calculated as follows:
\[
\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} = \frac{2}{6}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}
\]
Thus, the correct answer choice from your options is **2/6**.
