What are all the possible outcomes? How many of these outcomes are odd numbers? So what is the probability of getting an odd number?
What are the probabilities for getting a 2, getting a 4, and getting a 6? So what are their probabilities?

Use the formula they gave you (the one with probabilities multiplied by values, and then the results added together, etc) to find the expected value.

What are your thoughts on this?
