Explanation

A die has 6 faces {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Numbers greater than 3 are {4, 5, 6}. Probability = 3/6 = 1/2.

AI explanation

The sample space of a die contains 6 possible outcomes. The outcomes that represent a number greater than 3 are 4, 5, and 6, providing 3 favorable outcomes. The probability is calculated as 3 favorable outcomes divided by 6 total outcomes, resulting in 1/2.
