Detailed explanation-2: -To understanding probability we take an example as rolling a dice: There are six possible outcomes-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The probability of getting any of the numbers is 1/6. As the event is an equally likely event so the possibility of getting any number is the same in this case it is 1/6 or 50/3%.

Detailed explanation-3: -With 20 sides, any given result has a probability of 5%, so the probability of rolling either a 3 or a 6 is 10%.

Detailed explanation-4: -Summary: Using a six-sided die, the probability of rolling either a 5 or a 6 is 1/3.
