A die has 6 faces: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. The numbers less than or equal to 5 are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. There are 5 such outcomes. The probability is 5/6.

AI explanation

A single die has six possible outcomes, which are the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The outcomes that satisfy the condition of being less than or equal to 5 are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, giving 5 favorable outcomes. The probability is calculated as 5 divided by 6. The result is 5/6.
