Using a six-sided die, what is the probability of rolling either a 5 or a 6?
A) 1/6 × 1/6 = 1/36
B) 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/3
C) 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/3

To find the probability of rolling a 5 or a 6, we need to add the probability of rolling 5 to the probability of rolling 6. Since each of these outcomes has a probability of 1/6, the total probability is 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/3. Option B is the only choice that reflects this calculation.
