Answer:

(a) 1/6

(b) 1/2

(c) 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 possible outcomes.

(a) The number is 2: only 1 outcome out of 6, hence 1/6

(b) The number is even: {2, 4, 6} - 3 outcomes out of 6, hence 3/6 = 1/2

(c) The number is greater than four: {5, 6} - 2 outcomes out of 6, hence 2/6 = 1/3
