A single fair dice goes from 1 - 6.
The odd numbers are therefore: 1, 3, 5 (Probability: 3/6)
Numbers less than 5: 1, 2, 3, 4 (Probability: 4/6)
Calculate the total number of possibilities that you have because you can choose either one of them (odd number or a number that is less than 5).

In terms of percentages, you are 150% likely to pick a number that is odd or is less than 5.
