~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 


The space of events consists of 6 events '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6' with the probability 1/6 each.


The favorable events are '1', '3', '5', '6'. Their cardinality is 4 (four).


Therefore, the probability under the problem's question is


    P = favorable%2Ftotal = 4%2F6 = 2%2F3.   ANSWER
