  1. prob(greater than two) = 4/6 = 2/3
    prob(not greater than two) = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

  2. Yes, she made an error. Caitlyn should have taken the desired outcomes, rolling a 3, 4, 5, or 6, and divided that by the total possible outcomes. The correct probability would be 4/6, or 2/3.

  6. Yes, she made an error. Caitlyn should have taken the desired outcomes, rolling a 3, 4, 5, or 6, and divided that by the total possible outcomes to get a probability of 4/6, or 2/3. She should have subtracted this probability from 1 to get the complement, which is 2/6, or 1/3.
