@anthony~ I'm thinking that you want to learn how to do this and not just be fed answers. If you want to learn how to do this, then I 'll show you. @christy12345 answer does not look correct - I'm not sure. There is no work.

Directrix (directrix):

Greater than 3: { 4, 5, 6} Fewer than 3: { 1, 2, 3}

Directrix (directrix):

Odds in favor of rolling a number greater than 3 on a single roll of a hexahedral die is 3 to 3 or 1 to 1. Probability and odds are related but are not the "exact same" concept.

What are the numbers on the six sides? It would help to say it is a "Regular" or "Standard" Die.
