Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are 6 possible outcomes when rolling a 6-sided die (numbers 1 through 6). Since we are looking for a number less than 6, there are 5 outcomes that satisfy this condition (numbers 1 through 5). Therefore, the theoretical probability of rolling a number less than 6 is $\frac{5}{6}$.
