In the classical probability approach to assign a probability to an event, the assumption is that all the outcomes have the same chance of happening. Pick up a six-sided fair die, there are six numbers on each face of the die as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Classical probability says that each side of the die has the same chance to come face up if this die is thrown. Since there are 6 possible outcomes of throwing a six-sided fair die probability of obtaining any number represented on the faces of this six-sided fair die is 1/6.
