Six side dye. Let x be the random variable, x ={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). The probability for any of the six possible outcomes is P(x) = 1/6. This gives a flat probability distribution.

The probability that the outcome in the rolling of one dye is 3 or a smaller number

(2 or 1) is; P(x≤3) = P(x=3) + P(x=2) +P(x=1) = 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 3/6 = 1/2

The probability of the complementary event, that the resulting event is a number above 3 is: P(x>3) = 1 - P(x≤3) = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2 = 0.50 = 50%

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
