1. **Problem statement:** A die is rolled once. Find the probability that the outcome is:
(a) not a 4
(b) exactly 6
(c) more than 3
2. **Formula and rules:** The probability of an event $E$ is given by
$$P(E) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$$
A fair six-sided die has outcomes $\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$, so total outcomes = 6.
3. **Part (a): Probability not a 4**
- Favorable outcomes: $\{1,2,3,5,6\}$ (all except 4)
- Number of favorable outcomes = 5
- Probability:
$$P(\text{not }4) = \frac{5}{6}$$
4. **Part (b): Probability exactly 6**
- Favorable outcome: $\{6\}$
- Number of favorable outcomes = 1
- Probability:
$$P(6) = \frac{1}{6}$$
5. **Part (c): Probability more than 3**
- Outcomes more than 3: $\{4,5,6\}$
- Number of favorable outcomes = 3
- Probability:
$$P(>3) = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$$
**Final answers:**
- (a) $\frac{5}{6}$
- (b) $\frac{1}{6}$
- (c) $\frac{1}{2}$
