Assuming you are rolling a standard 6-sided die with sides numbered 1 to 6:
#P("roll">2)=2/3#

Explanation:

There are #6# possible outcomes: #{1,2,3,4,5,6}#
#4# of these outcomes are greater than #2#: {3.4.5.6}#

So the probability of a roll greater than #2# is #4# out of #6#
#color(white)("XXX")=4/6 = 2/3#
