There is only one die

Prob(6) = 1/6

Prob(10) = 0

Prob( not 6) = 5/6

The probability of obtaining a specific number on a fair six-sided die is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (rolling a 6) by the total number of possible outcomes (rolling any number from 1 to 6).

In this case, since we are interested in the probability of obtaining the number 6, there is only one favorable outcome (rolling a 6). The total number of possible outcomes is six (since the die has six faces).

Therefore, the probability of obtaining the number 6 is:

P(6) = favorable outcomes / total outcomes
P(6) = 1 / 6

The probability of obtaining number 6 is 1/6, or approximately 0.1667, when the die is rolled once.
