a) The probability that she will get a 6 is 1%2F6. Why? Because there are six sides on a dice, and 6 is one of the six.
----------------------
b) There is no 0 on a die, so the probability is 0%2F6 or 0.
----------------------
c) There are 3 even numbers on a die, 2, 4, and 6. That is 3 out of 6, so the probability is 3%2F6 or 1%2F2.
