A 12-sided die is rolled. The set of equally likely outcomes is {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, 10, 11,12]. Find the probability of rolling a number greater than 2.
The set of outcomes that are greater than 2 is {3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}.
The total number of equally likely outcomes is 12.
The number of outcomes that are greater than 2 is 10.
Therefore, the probability of rolling a number greater than 2 is 10/12, which can be simplified to 5/6.
