A
1/6
B
1/3
C
1/2
D
2/3
E
5/6
Verified Correct Answer: D.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
If a die is rolled once, the probability of getting a number greater than 2 is \(\frac{2}{3}\).
i.e Pr( number greater than 2) = \(\frac{\text{ no of required outcome}}{\text{total no of expected outcome}}\)
= \(\frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}\)
