This would depend both on the number of sides the die has and how it's numbered. For our sake, let's assume that a die with N sides is numbered (1,2,3...N).

Then the probability that a number less than 3 is obtained when a fair die with N sides is rolled is...

2/N

...since the only possibilities for rolling a number less than 3 are 1 and 2. Which means that all dice have a chance of 2 out of N to obtain a 1 or 2 on each roll. what the probability that a number less than 3 is obtained when a fair die is rolled.
