    1/2; 50%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Probability is number of desired outcomes/number of total outcomes.

    In a fair die, there are 6 total outcomes.

    Now, let's find how many desired outcomes there are.

    We can do this by naming the prime numbers form 1-6.

    Prime numbers are numbers that are divisible by 2 positive integers: 1 and itself.

    This means that 1, 4, and 6 are not prime numbers.

    The prime numbers are: 2, 3, and 5.

    So there are 3 desired outcomes.

    That means the probability would be 3/6

    This can be simplified to 1/2, or 50%
