Answer

Simplify the fraction to get the final answer: \(\boxed{\frac{2}{3}}\).

Steps

Step 1 ：There are 6 total equally likely outcomes when rolling a fair 6-sided die.

Step 2 ：The successful outcomes are rolling a 3, 4, 5, or 6, which are 4 outcomes.

Step 3 ：So the probability is \(\frac{4}{6}\).

Step 4 ：Simplify the fraction to get the final answer: \(\boxed{\frac{2}{3}}\).
