A six-sided die with sides labeled 1 through 6 will be rolled once. Each number is equally likely to be rolled.

Question

What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 2 ?
Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

There are three numbers greater than 2 on the six-sided die: 3, 4, and 5.

Since each number is equally likely to be rolled, the probability of rolling a number greater than 2 is $\frac{3}{6} = \boxed{\frac{1}{2}}$.
