On a Fair Number Cube, the numbered faces 1 through 6 have an equal
likelihood of being rolled -- in other words each number has a 1/6
chance of being rolled. The likelihood then of rolling EITHER a 1 OR a 4 is the same: 1/6

Hope that helps.

When a fair dice is thrown one time then the sample space for all possible out comes is;

S={ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

n(S) = 6

Let A be the event that the number appears on the dice is 1 or 4.

A = { 1, 4 }

n(A) = 2

P(A) = n(A)/ n(S)

P(A) = 2/ 6

P(A) = 1/3

The probability of getting 1 or 4 on a fair cube is 1/3 or 0.33 approx.
