Explanation

Choice A is correct. The total number of possible outcomes for rolling a fair $14$ -sided die is $14$ . The number of possible outcomes for rolling a $2$ is $1$ . The probability of rolling a $2$ is the number of possible outcomes for rolling a $2$ divided by the total number of possible outcomes, or $\frac{1}{14}$ .

Choice B is incorrect. This is the probability of rolling a number no greater than $2$ .

Choice C is incorrect. This is the probability of rolling a number greater than $2$ .

Choice D is incorrect. This is the probability of rolling a number other than $2$ .
