Respuesta :

Since all sides are equally probable, each number has probability equal to

[tex]P(\text{side)}=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

However, we need the probability for a number greater than 3. In this case, we have the sides equal to 4, 5 and 6. Then, the probabiblity is

[tex]P(\text{side}>3)=3\cdot\frac{1}{6}=\frac{3}{6}[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is option A.
