what is the probability that the result is an even number or number less than 4 ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The total set of events has 12 elements with equal probability of  1%2F12  each.


It is the set of all possible outcomes.


The favorable set is  { 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 }  consisting of 8 elements.


THEREFORE, the probability under the problem's question is  P = 8%2F12 = 2%2F3.     ANDSWER
