Questions in part 1 are rhetorical,  because all the answers are more than EVIDENT.

Anyone and everybody in healthy mind is able answer them on his or her own,  if he or she understand the meaning of these English words.

Therefore,  I will not answer them,
and for the future,  I ask you  DO  NOT  POST  such questions to the forum.



Now I will answer part  2.

     Greater than 2 means that the possible outcomes are 3, 4, 5 and 6.


    So, there are 4 favorable outcomes from 6 total possible outcomes.


    Therefore, the probability under the problem's question is


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

Solved.
