If you roll a six sided die, what is the probability of getting ... a multiple of 2 a composite number a odd number

OpenStudy (phi):

probability is the number of rolls that match your condition divided by the total number of possible rolls. A roll must end up with one of (1,2,3,4,5,6) (6 events) how many are a multiple of 2? 2,4,6 (3 events) so 3/6 or 1/2 is the probability a composite number: those not prime.

Meaning?

OpenStudy (phi):

1,2,3,5 are not composite. so 4 and 6 are composite. probability is 2/6 = 1/3 you can try the last one.
