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

To find the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 on a six-sided die, first consider the possible outcomes when rolling the die. The faces of the die show the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

The numbers that are greater than 4 are 5 and 6. This gives us a total of 2 favorable outcomes. Since there are 6 possible outcomes in total when rolling the die, the probability can be calculated using the formula for probability:

[

\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}.

]

Thus, the correct answer is 1/3, indicating that there is a one in three chance of rolling a number greater than 4 when you roll a die.
