Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If the die is fair (and we will assume that all of them are), then each of these outcomes is equally likely. Since there are six possible outcomes, the probability of obtaining any side of the die is 1/6. The probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6, the probability of rolling a 2 is 1/6, and so on.
Detailed explanation-2: -Probability of rolling 2 is 1/6.
Detailed explanation-3: -Suppose you roll a die, there are six possible outcomes. They are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The probability of getting 1 on die is P(1) = 1/6. Similarly, the probability of getting 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 is also 1/6.
