1. **State the problem:** We roll a 6-sided die and want to find the probability of the event "5 or greater than 3".
2. **Define the events:** Let A = rolling a 5, and B = rolling a number greater than 3.
3. **List outcomes:**
- A = {5}
- B = {4, 5, 6}
4. **Find the union:** The event "5 or greater than 3" means $A \cup B = \{4, 5, 6\}$.
5. **Calculate probabilities:**
- Total outcomes = 6
- Favorable outcomes for $A \cup B$ = 3
6. **Use the formula for probability:**
$$P(A \cup B) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$$
7. **Answer:** The probability is 0.5 or 50%.
