Answer: 2/6 or 2 against 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
A fair die has a total of 6 outcomes.
We want to find the odds against the event of rolling the values (1, 6, 5, 4)
So this is equal to the odds in favour of the event of rolling a 2 or a 3.
This means that out of 6 possible values, we only have 2 acceptable ones.
Then the odds against the event rolling a fair die and getting a 1, a 6, a 5, or a 4 are:
P = 2/6
2 against 6.
