A single die is rolled one time. Find the probability of rolling a number greater than 1 +cross%28or%29+ and less than 6.
========================================================================
This equivalent to the probability of rolling a 2, 3, 4, or 5. That's 4 out of the 6 possible outcomes.
P(roll 2,3,4, or 5) = 4 / 6 = +highlight%282+%2F+3+%29+ = 0.6666….

—————————
If I take the original question literally, as "greater than 1 OR less than 6" then the probability is 1.
