Explanation

A standard die has 6 faces: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. The even numbers are {2, 4, 6}, which are 3 outcomes out of 6 total outcomes, resulting in a probability of 3/6 = 1/2.

AI explanation

A standard die has 6 possible outcomes, and the favorable even numbers are 2, 4, and 6. This gives 3 favorable outcomes out of 6 total possibilities. The probability of an even number is 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2. The probability is 1/2.
