There are 6 possible outcomes when rolling a standard die: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
The numbers less than 3 are 1 and 2, so there are 2 favorable outcomes.
Therefore, the probability of rolling a number less than 3 is 2/6, which simplifies to 1/3.
As a decimal rounded to the nearest millionth, the probability is 0.333333.
