You can take it this way as well -

Possibility that the number is neither even nor less than 4 = 5
Total possible outcome= 6

So, Possibility of outcome 5 is $$\frac{1}{6}$$

Hence , the probability that the number is even or less than 4 is $$1 - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$$

So, Answer will be (E) 5/6

how do you put this into the P(A or B) formula? = P(A) + P(B) - P(A&B)??
