A Correct answer
Explanation

A die has 6 faces: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Even numbers are {2, 4, 6}. Probability = 3/6 = 1/2.

AI explanation

When a die is thrown, the possible even numbers are 2, 4 and 6, giving 3 favorable outcomes out of 6 total possibilities. Using the classical probability formula, we divide 3 by 6. This simplifies to a probability of 1/2.
