Not to be confused with probability of an event.

Answer 16

anyways you are correct

Answer 17

So basically, we just find:
# of favorable outcomes (we roll a # less than 3: a 1 or a 2.) There are 2 here.
# of unfavorable outcomes (we roll something else: 3, 4, 5, or 6.) There are 4 here.
These two quantities should add up to the total # of possible outcomes.

Then take the fraction of the # of the favorable outcomes over the # of unfavorable outcomes. 2/4. Simplify as necessary.
