A Correct answer
Explanation

A fair die has 6 faces. The probability of rolling a specific number (5) is 1 favorable outcome divided by 6 total possible outcomes.

AI explanation

The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. A fair die has 6 faces, so there are 6 possible outcomes. Since there is only one face with the number 5, the probability of rolling a 5 is 1 out of 6.
