You roll an fair number cube. The six possible outcomes when rolling are one, two, three, four, five, six. What are the favorable outcomes when rolling an odd number?
The favorable outcomes are the outcomes we want (aka the outcomes we favor or like). Think of it as a gambling game. If the goal is to roll an odd number, then we need to roll a 1, a 3 or a 5. We don't want 2, 4 or 6 as those are even.
