A 6-sided die is rolled. What is the probability of rolling a number less than 3?
A 6-sided die has 6 equally likely outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
We want to find the probability of rolling a number less than 3, which means getting a 1 or a 2.
There are 2 favorable outcomes (1 and 2) and 6 possible outcomes.
Therefore, the probability of rolling a number less than 3 is 2/6 or simplified, 1/3.
