Q. What is the probability of rolling a six on the first die and a two on the second die?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or a whole number. With fractions, use a slash ( / ) to separate the numerator and denominator.\newline_____
  1. Determine Probability of Rolling: Step 11: Determine the probability of rolling a six on a single die. Since a standard die has six faces, each numbered uniquely from 11 to 66, the probability of rolling a six is 11 out of 66.
  2. Calculate Probability of Two: Step 22: Calculate the probability of rolling a two on the second die. Similar to the first die, the probability of rolling a two is also 11 out of 66.
  3. Calculate Total Probability: Step 33: Since the rolls are independent events, the total probability of both events happening (rolling a six first and a two second) is the product of their individual probabilities. So, we multiply the probabilities from Step 11 and Step 22.\newline16×16=136\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{36}
