Explanation

Prime numbers on a die are 2, 3, 5. There are 3 prime numbers out of 6 total outcomes. Probability = 3/6 = 1/2.

AI explanation

Using the classical probability formula of favorable outcomes divided by total possible outcomes, a standard die has 6 possible outcomes. The prime numbers on a die are 2, 3, and 5, which means there are 3 favorable outcomes. Therefore, the probability of getting a prime number is 3 out of 6, which simplifies to 1/2.
