Explanation

A die has outcomes {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Outcomes greater than 4 are {5, 6}. There are 2 such outcomes. Probability = 2/6 = 1/3.

AI explanation

Using the classical definition of probability, the total possible outcomes for a thrown die are 6. The outcomes greater than 4 are 5 and 6, giving 2 favorable outcomes. The probability is calculated as 2 divided by 6, which simplifies to 1/3.
