Explanation

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

AI explanation

An unbiased die has 6 total outcomes. The numbers greater than 1 are 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, giving 5 favorable outcomes. Using the classical probability formula, we divide 5 by 6. The result is 5/6.
