Q. You roll a 6-sided die two times. What is the probability of rolling a 6 and then rolling a 6? Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
Calculate Probability of Rolling a 6: Determine the probability of rolling a 6 on a single roll of a 6-sided die. Since there are 6 sides on the die, and only one of those sides is a 6, the probability of rolling a 6 on one roll is 1 out of 6. Calculation: P(rolling a 6)=61
Calculate Probability of Rolling a 6 Again: Determine the probability of rolling a 6 on the second roll of the die.The probability of rolling a 6 on the second roll is independent of the first roll, so it is also 1 out of 6.Calculation: P(rolling a 6 again)=61
Calculate Combined Probability: Calculate the combined probability of rolling a 6 on the first roll and a 6 on the second roll.Since the two events are independent, we multiply the probabilities of each event occurring.Calculation: P(rolling a 6 and then a 6)=P(rolling a 6 on first roll)×P(rolling a 6 on second roll)=61×61=361
