B Correct answer
Explanation

Numbers greater than 4 on a die are 5 and 6. There are 2 favorable outcomes out of 6. Probability = 2/6 = 1/3.

AI explanation

When a single die is thrown, the sample space consists of 6 possible outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The numbers greater than 4 are 5 and 6, providing 2 favorable outcomes. The probability is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total possible outcomes. Thus, the probability is 2 divided by 6, which simplifies to 1 divided by 3.
