Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a special die.  Its six sides bear the numbers {9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14}.

There are three possibilities for getting a multiple of two:  {10, 12, 14}, and

there is only one possibilities for getting a multiple of ten:  {10, 12, 14}

The probability here of getting a multiple of two is 3/6, and that of getting a multiple of ten is 1/6.  But one of the outcomes is found in both result sets:  10.  Getting a multiple of 10 is already included in the event that the outcome is a multiple of two.  My answer here would be 3/6, or 1/2.
