B Correct answer
Explanation

A standard die has 6 faces (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Numbers greater than 2 are 3, 4, 5, 6, which are 4 outcomes. The probability is 4/6, which simplifies to 2/3.

AI explanation

When a standard dice is thrown, the total number of possible outcomes is 6, and the numbers greater than 2 are 3, 4, 5, and 6. This gives exactly 4 favorable outcomes. The probability is calculated by dividing the favorable outcomes by the total outcomes, resulting in 4/6, which simplifies to 2/3.
