The die is assumed to have six sides labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The numbers greater than 3 are 4, 5, 6. The numbers less than 5 are 4, 3, 2, 1. So the numbers greater than 3 OR less than 5 are the union of the two sets or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The probability of rolling one of these numbers is 6/6 or 100%.

If you meant greater than 3 AND less than 5, the intersection of the two sets is 4 and the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6.
