1. greater than 6 is zero as die has 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 numbers only on its six faces. Unless you have a different die2. No of even numbers are: 2,4 and 6 - i.e 3 . Hence the Probability is 3/6 = 1/2

[1]- we know that we have 6 total outcomes i.e 1.to 6 and even no.are 2 4 6 so we know that

probability=favourable outcomes/total outcomes =3/6 = 1/2

so, probability of getting a even no is 1/2

[2]the no greater than 6 will be 0

Probabilty of even number i.e. 2,4 and 6 when a dice is thrown = 3/6 = 1/2

Since the possible number of outcomes can be 1,2,3,4,5 & 6 only, probability greater than 6 = 0
