Answer

Fraction of outcomes less than 5 = $\frac{2}{3}$

Work Step by Step

When a die rolled then the total outcomes = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) = 6 If outcomes less than 5 then the favorable outcomes = (1, 2, 3, 4) = 4 Probability = $\frac{Favorable outcomes}{total outcomes}$ Probability of being less than 5 = $\frac{4}{6}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$ Fraction of outcomes less than 5 = $\frac{2}{3}$
