~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
The total set of events has 12 elements with equal probability of  {{{1/12}}}  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 = {{{8/12}}} = {{{2/3}}}.     <U>ANDSWER</U>
