Question: 1 / 400

If a die is rolled, what is the probability of rolling a number greater than 4?

1/6

To determine the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 on a standard six-sided die, first identify the numbers on the die: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The numbers greater than 4 are 5 and 6.

There are two favorable outcomes (rolling a 5 or a 6) out of a total of six possible outcomes (the six faces of the die). The probability is calculated using the formula:

\[

\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}} = \frac{2}{6}

\]

This simplifies to \(\frac{1}{3}\). Thus, the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 is \(\frac{1}{3}\).

The resulting value indicates that among the total rolls possible, one third of the time, a number greater than 4 will appear.
