Answer

a. $P(5) =\frac{1}{6}$ b. $ P(>2) =\frac{2}{3}$ c. $ P(odd) =\frac{1}{2}$

Work Step by Step

a. $P(5) =\frac{1}{6}$ : This is is one possibility out of the 6 equal possibilities on the die. b. $ P(>2) =\frac{2}{3}$ or $\frac{4}{6}$: The numbers greater than 2 on a six-sided die are 3,4,5,6. It therefore represents $\frac{4}{6}$ of the outcomes, which reduces to $\frac{2}{3}$ c. $ P(odd) =\frac{3}{6}$ or $\frac{1}{2}$ The odd numbers on a die are 1,3, and 5. They therefore represent half of the possible outcomes.
