Probability is defined as success / total.
In our question success occurs when we roll a 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. So we have 5 successful ways to get our answer.
Total is all possible answers, or 1,2,3,4,5,6. There are 6 total sides on the cube.
Our probability is 5/6.

If the result is greater than 2, then we will have 3,4,5,or 6

The probability of getting either a 3, 4, 5, or 6 is 1%2F6, and since there

are four possibilities, we get: 1%2F6+%2B+1%2F6+%2B+1%2F6+%2B+1%2F6, or 4%2A%281%2F6%29 = highlight_green%282%2F3%29
