There are six sides to a die. If we assume that all sides have the same chance of coming up then each side has a probability of 1 in 6 or 1/6. This is the theoretical probability.
Of course if the die is not perfectly shaped and weighted then it will not be 'fair' and the sides will have different probabilities of coming up.

What is the probability that the die tossed will land on a number that is smaller than 5?
The probability that the die tossed will land on a number that is smaller than 5 is 4/6 or 2/3. Smaller than 5 is 1 - 4 and 6 is the sample space.
What is the probability of a six sided die to land 1 or 4?
If it a fair die, the probability is 1/3.
How do you work out the probability that a biased dice will land on a six is 0.35?
You roll it many times. The probability that it lands on a six is the number of times that it lands on a six divided by the number of times the die has been rolled.
How do you find the probability of rolling a number less than a certain number on one roll of a die?
The probability of rolling a number on a die is 1 out of the number of sides on the die. So, for a six sided die, the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6. The probability of rolling a 4 or a 5 becomes 2/6 or 1/3. This is because there are two acceptable outcomes out of six. So when finding the probability of rolling a number less than x on a y sided die, it becomes x-1 / y. It is x-1 because the outcome is to roll less than the number, not less than or equal.
What is the probability of rolling an odd number with a dice?
The probability for a normal die is 1/2.
