A Correct answer
Explanation

A standard six-sided die has three even numbers (2, 4, 6) out of six possible outcomes. The probability of rolling an even number is therefore 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2.

AI explanation

When a single die is thrown, the total number of possible outcomes is 6. The even numbers on a die are 2, 4 and 6, giving 3 favourable outcomes. Using the classical definition of probability, the probability is the number of favourable outcomes divided by the total outcomes, which is 3/6. This simplifies to 1/2. The result is 1/2.
