A fair 6-sided die

Roll a fair 6-sided die and let $A$ be the event "rolling a 3".
alt-text

$n\left(A\right)=$ .

$n\left(U\right)=$ .

The probability of rolling a 3 on a fair 6-sided die is (as a fraction) $P\left(A\right)=$ .

Let $B$ be the event "rolling an even number".
alt-text

$n\left(B\right)=$ .

$n\left(U\right)=$ .

The probability of rolling an even number on a fair 6-sided die is (as a fraction) $P\left(A\right)=$ .

A deck of cards

Pick one random card from the deck.
alt-text

$n\left(U\right)=$ .
