Solution

dice is thrown once

TO FIND: Probability of getting a number greater than 2.

Total number on a dice is 6.

Number greater than 2 is 3, 4, 5 and 6

Total number greater than 2 is 4

`"We know that PROBABILITY" = "Number of favourable event"/"Total number of event"` 

Hence probability of getting a number greater than 2 is equal to `4/6=2/3`
